In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

As a writer and podcaster on movies, I admit that I can sometimes fall into hyperbole when discussing movies that were major influences or reshaped a genre. It is very hard to argue against Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later being the most important and influential zombie picture since the game-changing Night of the Living Dead. The 2002 indy horror brought zombies back to the mainstream and played a huge part in making them one of the most popular monsters. A popularity that still stands today and has seen the creatures show up in all kinds of mediums and even in different types of genres. We discuss why it was major influence and how it turned out to be such a surprise hit. As well, we look at how it holds up today, how it stands out among other horror movies, what is the lasting legacy and look at the major careers that it launched. As always, we had a great time recording this show and we really hope you love it. If you do, please helps us out by spreading the word on social media, so other movie fans can find us.
