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?

Scott and John journey to the Old West on Popcorn Eschaton! First, they discover a conspiracy of murder, oil speculation, and land left in Joseph H. Lewis's 'Terror in a Texas Town,' starring a harpoon-wielding Sterling Hayden. Then they stretch the definition of "Western" a bit to discuss William Wyler's 1956 film 'Friendly Persuasion,' a story of deeply held spiritual and pacifist beliefs being put to the test in the crucible of the Civil War. This is the first in what will eventually be a series on Popcorn Eschaton in which we examine the Western genre with a spiritual and leftist lens. The "Speak Truth to Power" pamphlet on non-violent solutions to national and international conflict mentioned in the episode can be found here: https://quaker.org/legacy/sttp.html Logo designed by Jesse Arnold (https://www.instagram.com/just.shelve.it/) Theme music is "Sun Blood" by Oxeneers (https://oxeneers1.bandcamp.com/)
