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.

Kevin says THE FIRST OMEN Kinda rocks!
They’ve rebooted HALLOWEEN and THE EXORCIST. The next 70s horror franchise to get another go is THE OMEN.
THE FIRST OMEN takes us back before the original film, telling the story of a young woman serving at a Roman orphanage before she takes her final vows as a nun. She discovers a mysterious girl living there and stumbles upon a terrifying conspiracy.
THE FIRST OMEN follows the sty le and tone of the original 1976 film, refusing simple jump scares and overblown spectacle. This makes the pacing more deliberate, which may turn off some people, but it felt like it was emulating 1970s filmmaking more than most modern reboots.
The story also offers some new takes on the franchise, juxtaposing elements of demonic possession against mental illness as well as framing society’s waning interest in religion with historic control.
There’s some screenwriting gymnastics to mostly keep the franchise continuity, but the wild plot swings and a well-earned graphic R rating makes this worth checking out for the horror fan.
THE FIRST OMEN gets three sixes out of five. Sorry… couldn’t resist that. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
