We greet comic book artist <a href="https://nstevenworks.com">N. Steven Harris</a> just in time to bid a fond farewell to music legend Sly Stone (1943-2025), respond to a bewildering email from “family” that takes a poke at director Antoine Fuqua for reasons TBD, and review the eccentric, quirky, yet prescient coming-of-age comedy by Rick Famuyiwa that kickstarted the careers of some of the Mission’s favorite actors.

MISSION LOGS: Get On Up (2014)

Vincent Williams and Len Webb have started an amazing journey to watch and review every African-American film released in theaters. Their passion project, the Micheaux Mission, honors Oscar Micheaux, a trailblazing Black filmmaker. Their enthusiasm and dedication are truly inspiring as they seek the perfect wine to pair with Pam Grier’s Coffy, find five movies since 1985 that don't feature Samuel L. Jackson, and connect with other film fans who share Len’s view on The Last Dragon. Their commitment to celebrating and examining African-American cinema is both commendable and uplifting. Welcome to the Mission!
