Matt Roush says...
SUNDAY: Justin Simien’s (above) excellent survey of the history of Black cinema concludes with an appreciation of the movies that followed the election of the USA’s first Black president, Barack Obama. Simien’s query, “What stories do we choose to tell now that we have the choice?” leads to Oscar winners Moonlight and 12 Years a Slave, while also recounting the “Oscars So White” furor that ensued in 2015 when the year’s 20 acting nominations all went to white performers. The episode also salutes breakthroughs including Jordan Peele’s 2017 horror hit Get Out and 2018’s blockbuster Black Panther.
