Movie Lovers Unite

What is Black cinema? And why does it matter so much?
In this episode of Movie Lovers Unite, Josh Pray, Rossie, and John come together for a powerful and personal conversation about what Black cinema means to us. From the films we grew up on to the stories that shaped culture and identity, we explore the impact of Black storytelling in film and why representation continues to matter today.
This is more than a discussion about movies — it’s about legacy, culture, authenticity, and the voices that helped shape generations through cinema.
We discuss:
• The cultural impact of Black cinema
• Movies that shaped our perspectives
• Representation in Hollywood
• Why Black storytelling is essential to film history
Whether you're a lifelong film fan or discovering these stories for the first time, this conversation celebrates the power and importance of Black cinema.
