@westonfront I’m sure we talked about a sort of 70’s era ‘Blaxploitation’ image of the Doctor - obviously in the most positive sense of the world for those that are not aware of such an underground diverse genre of cinema back in the day. :)
Love it.

Happy 86th Birthday to @mattcimberfilms, director of the psychological seaside tale The Witch Who Came From the Sea, one of the UK’s notorious video nasties! He also helmed the blaxploitation classic Candy Tangerine Man in 1975 and 1983’s sword ‘n’ sandal epic Hundra. 🥳🤩🥳
69. Buck Wild a.k.a. Rufus Wild. Milestone and McDuffie's funny parody of Luke Cage and a commentary on the depiction of black superheroes as a whole. His brain is frozen in '72 so he talks like a blaxploitation character and filled in for Icon for a while, growing into his own.

Films I watched today:
BLUE VELVET (1986) [One of David Lynch's masterpieces. Personally, I'm not a huge fan.]
THE CANDY TANGERINE MAN (1975) [Can blaxploitation protagonists... not use homophobic slurs?]
AVALANCHE (1978) [Not great, but it gave me my favourite MST3K episode.]
#TheHumanTornado (1976). The sequel to 1975's #Dolemite gives us more of the same; a silly Kung Fu #Blaxploitation featuring Rudy Ray Moore's poetic pimp. @fthismovie #NowWatching #Junesploitation

The first black female characters started appearing in comics in the 70s - #MistyKnight from #Marvel, was inspired by the #Blaxploitation aesthetics of the time. The journey for black female characters hasn’t been easy, but progress is near
