The boys discuss another African film. This time it's the mind-bending psychological thriller Pegasus by Moroccan director Mohamed Mouftakir. The episode goes all over the place but the major twists get spoiled early on, so go watch it if you want to. Pegasus is avail able to stream on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B01DGC7GT6/ref=atv_dl_rdr) and on Fandor also. Some of the other films brought up were The Road To Love, Wadjda, What A Wonderful World, I Saw The Devil, Secrets In Their Eyes, and Tabloid and many more.

It's another half 'n' half episode, J Dawg and Spencer chat about the messy but still good Jungle Fever in the first part. In the second half, Spencer is joined by Dave Stone-Robb and talk about Jungle Fever and a lot of other stuff too. Track down Jungle Fever, it has problems but still good.

J-Dawg and Spencer ring in the new year with the Cannes Winner...Shoplifters! It's somewhere between Imamura and Ozu and completely its own thing. How similar is it to BlacKkKlansman? Is there any crossover? Well you gotta listen to find out. Warning: This movie might make you cry.

Happy New Year! We close out 2019 with a chat about one of the best but hard to find independent Black films, Chameleon Street. This is not only a funny film but it's an incisive, edgy, and radical piece of art that should be required viewing by anyone and everyone. Wendell B. Harris got a raw deal and that's fucked up. Seek out this movie, you won't regret it.
Also Joel is not here but there's Marcus Pinn and Mtume Gant.

The guys finally get to the most recent and one of Spike's most popular films, BlacKkKlansman. Travis Woods from BW/DR returns to the show too. This episode gets dark and personal for a stretch but this film brings those things out. BlacKkKlansman is not the best Spike film but if you have not seen it by now, watch it.

We close up the Oldboy pairing with a look at Spike's remake. Also Melanie from the Ganja and Hess episode returns. Some people hate this movie, we did not. It's not as horrid as Spencer remembered but it's still a disappointment (He'd still rather watch SHE HATE ME over this though). So if you're expecting a hate fest, this is not it.

In this secret episode, the guys are joined by John Cribbs of The Pink Smoke (http://thepinksmoke.com/) drops by to discuss one of 2019's best films that you can watch right now on Netflix...Atlantics by writer/director Mati Diop. The less said about the plot the better besides, it's not what you think it is. If this is any indication, then Mati Diop is off to an incredible career directing feature films.

In 2003, Park Chan-Wook's Oldboy was unleashed into the world and changed the landscape of cinema. In the first part Spencer and Joel talk about the film in general - what works, what makes it special, its weaknesses and strengths, and the legacy of the Hammer fight. In the second part, Spencer and Zachary Curl get into Korean cinema, Parasite, Park Chan-Wook's filmography, and a whole bunch of other topics. This is the longest episode we've done so far but it's Oldboy. It deserves a nearly 3 Hour episode.

The show returns to the old west for a chat about the classic Fred "The Hammer" Williamson western comedy, Boss Nigger. Joel got kidnapped by Jed Clayton but Spencer is joined by Mike and Bobby of the Grindbin Podcast for the rescue. Fred Williamson is an icon of the Blaxploitation era and American film. He was not just an action star. He directed, wrote, produced, and made the movies he wanted to make. Boss Nigger is pure popcorn but with substance. Go watch some Fred flicks, he's great.
