We look at the after-effects of the films of 1989. Eddie Murphy pivots to Black audiences as the major studios loosen their purse strings for Black (male) filmmakers, leaving Black women to get into the game on their terms. Yes, money, politics, and summer blockbusters are factors, but there's no denying 1989 was a launching pad for what was to come. Produced by the Podglomerate.
