Late-night series featuring a mix of vérité documentary, musical performances, surrealist melodrama and humorous animation as a stream-of-consciousness response to the contemporary American mediascape.
2018
Terence Nance introduces his new late-night series before being stopped by the NYPD. Segments include: "Everybody Dies!," a cable-access show hosted by "Ripa the Reaper"; an infomercial for a topical-ointment cure for "white thoughts"; and a talk show on sex in the black community.
This week's program begins with a video game to train an army of black women to defend themselves against aggressors. A gender-diverse group of subjects talk about the performance of gender. A wise uncle attempts to program his nephews on how not to be creepy. Speaking of creepy, Wendy gets lured into "Nuncaland," the Dominican-American fable inspired by a classic children's story.
This week's program moves from the story of an afro that goes to prison for "badness"' to a family mourning a high-profile case of police violence. Also, does the Second Amendment apply to black people? Contestants on the game show "Hotep Squares" are asked about that, and many more questions on this week's Random Acts of Flyness.
Most abuse happens within families and the lines between care, conflict, and chaos are volatile. This week's program addresses some of the dangling threads from past and future episodes, including the perfect apology, a very competitive game of spades and a celebrity's latest business venture.
A young Martin Luther King, Jr. wakes from a dream. A movie star with writer's block finds inspiration in Africa and stumbles upon the devil within.
A woman stays woke too long. In the not-too-distant future, a waitress contemplates uploading her consciousness to the cloud amidst warnings of an impending hurricane. After Najja has her demons exorcised, her Jealousy tries to talk its way back into her life. Artist Stephanie Dinkins describes her encounters with a simulated black woman.

While working on her latest game, Najja takes a unique and murderous approach to ritual. After having his wounds appraised, Terence has all the guidance he needs for the 6-dimensional journey ahead.
Terence’s wound MANDY is maaaaad loud – and has been talking out of pocket to Najja – so Terence attempts to silence that dude… forever. Najja prepares for the ritual to end, or begin, all rituals – which apparently requires a very specific hat.
At Glorious’ birthday, Najja performs the ritual to end all rituals. Later, a rebirth leads to a revelation.
Apparently you gotta use time to move in space, so while working on Ajjan, Terence and Najja hit a roadblock that neither flight nor teleportation can solve – and turn to couples therapy for guidance. Later, they plan a parallel journey back to The Source.
As he and Najja reunite with their ancestral lands, Terence speaks the parable of the pirate and the king. Which are you? Pirate or King?
As her funders press for the release of Ajjan, Najja finds herself in the midst of an initiation in which she learns what it means to be king. After the creator of BBHMM is accused of fraud, Terence and the remaining members of the Nance family make contact with an ancestor for guidance.
