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?

Since 2010, the We Hate Movies podcast has been loudly celebrating and tearing apart movies from across the spectrum: from forgotten '80s actioners and insane romantic comedies of the '90s, to the early CGI blockbusters of the aughts and the hyper-nostalgic franchises of the 2010s and today. Every week, comedians Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, and Chris Cabin pick a movie from the near-past to discuss and joke around about in all its positive and negative glory.

Blasphemous & Diabolical: Puritanism & the Obsession with Witchcraft | Minisode w/ Blair
Manage episode 358876119 series 3427553

In this minisode, join Blair as you explore the history of Puritanism and how the obsession with witchcraft plagued Europe and New England for centuries.
For most of us, when the words “Puritan” and “witch” come up, we think of Salem. Young girls accusing people left and right of being witches, gruesome capital punishment in the name of God, the significant decline of the village’s population... Historians have come up with a plethora of possible reasons why the accusations swept through Salem like wildfire; everything from teenage boredom to convulsive ergotism to a group of people specifically primed from years of religious indoctrination to believe that the devil was truly after them. Whatever the case, 25 innocent people (including children) ended up being the unfortunate victims of one of the most infamous cases of mass hysteria in American history.
