Here is a special video edit of the abridged version of the latest episode of The Filmography podcast. Bjorn and I were joined by very special guest Yaw Djang, Manchester-based restauranteur and former owner of X-Ray Films, a boutique video store specializing in Criterion and other hard to find distributors.
Do The Right Thing is Spike Lee’s incendiary third joint, a brilliant, fast, funny, and furious examination of tensions, racial and otherwise, that come to a boil on the hottest day of the summer in the Brooklyn, NY, neighbourhood of Bed Stuy.
It is a film that no one but Spike could have made. Click the links below to watch the special video episode or listen to the audio only episode on Spotify, or search for The Filmography wherever you get your favourite podcasts:
