78 - Do the Right Thing: Time is a Flat Circle [Spike Lee Miniseries Part One of Two]
Show Notes

This week, we revisit Spike Lee’s seminal 1989 film on racism in America and police violence Do The Right Thing.

We discuss the critical response at the time, the film’s connections to the current moment, and eventually get to how the solar cycle is using energy from the Dark Multiverse to make 5G.

This is also Part One of a back-to-back series on Spike Lee, with next week’s review of Da 5 Bloods joining it soon.
