For this Friday Movie Night, first up is The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019), an A24 drama from director Joe Talbot (his only feature film to date) about a black man who wants to reclaim his grandparents’ old Victorian home in the heart of San Fran following their deaths, only to discover that the world around it has been transformed into pure Burgerland. God Damn America: The Movie. High acclaim for this one across the board, so we’re watching it

After that is Argentinian black comedy Wild Tales (2014), an anthology of wacky situations involving people in various types of distress: an unhinged wedding, a plane crash, road rage, loan sharks, a trip to the DMV, it’s got it all. It is by far the best-known and best-regarded film to date of director Damian Szifron, and was nominated for a bunch of awards at the time, including the Best Foreign-Language Oscar. Let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
