In this episode of the show, making our monthly stop at the Spike Lee Station to talk about his fourth feature, Mo' Better Blues. Joined by our two great buddies, Jak and Carson, we dig into this dense movie to find out whether it should be faulted for its archetypal storytelling or applauded for its symbolic richness. We also talk about Lee's place in the pantheon of filmmakers at the time of its release, his potential anguish at the state of Hollywood, the problem with the film's bookends, its many controversies and more!
Tune in and enjoy!
