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.

If you thought we weren’t going to do two installments of The Lost 2000s in a row, you are dead wrong. This week, we take a look at the most blood-bag exploding, logging-truck colliding, eyeball-lasering movie franchise of them all, Final Destination. A pillar of the 2000s, Final Destination built a universe around the anxiety we all feel about our imminent demise. No matter how skillfully characters maneuver around death’s design, they can never quite seem to cleanly escape its clutches — striking fear into their hearts as they imagine how everyday objects could ultimately spell their gory end. Fun! More than that, Final Destination was, and continues to be, a horror movie franchise that moved beyond long-fortified formulas and built something entirely new. Listen as we discuss its legacy, Tony Todd’s amazing dialogue, and of course, our favorite death scenes. Enjoy! CONTENT WARNING: Themes of suicide are present in Final Destination and are discussed in this episode.
