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?

Instead, it was a shoot plagued by medical emergencies, climate disasters, nervous breakdowns, and the most scandalous love affair to ever hit a movie set. Join host Ben Mankiewicz as he digs through his own family stories to understand how it turned out so badly for his Oscar-win ...

Elysia and Luke gather around the mics once more to continue their winter tale with this briefer interlude looking at one specific film – about Charles Dickens' life and writing A Christmas Carol.
We use that as a jumping-off point to discuss the real man: How much of the film's story is true? What else should you know about him? And, perhaps most importantly for this series... Did he actually invent Christmas? And if not, who did?
Watch out for the final episode in our 2024 A Christmas Carol haunt, where Luke and Elysia watch some of the silliest and most beloved twists on the tale, and find out which ones we think are worth your time.
The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) is available in most countries on Disney+ or Hulu.
I – Start with the opening notes episode, if you haven't yet, for the background on this series.
II – The sheet music (novella and earlier story) episode is available to Book Club members in Supercast (Silozens or Storyzens)/Patreon.
III – And also join the chorus to discuss some of the most classic classic Christmas Carol adaptations.
2023 holiday special: The It's a Wonderful Life / Knife multiverse
