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.

This week we're going all the back to 1972 for the satirical political drama starring Robert Redford in The Candidate. The movie is speaking into the climate and turmoil of its time, but like any good movie, it is still relevant and has lots to say about modern politics. It says something that most of the issues addressed then, still are prevalent today. We do a deep dive into this older film while also looking a bit at the career and legacy of Redford. We also talk about a few other movies that we've recently watched. As always, we had a great time recording the episode, and we really hope you love listening to it. If you do, please help us out by spreading the word on social media so other movie buffs can find us. Reminder that you can subscribe either to The Movie Breakdown feed (a subscription link is at the top right hand of this site), or on sites like Spotify, Stitcher, Apple Podcast, Google Podcasts, CastBox, and Amazon Music.
