About

The heat is rising, and we’re stepping into one of the most powerful films ever made—Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing. This isn’t just a movie; it’s a mirror. From the scorching streets of Brooklyn to the boiling tensions between cultures, this film forces you to confront hard truths.


In this episode, I break down how Spike uses the camera to make you feel the pressure, the characters that represent more than just themselves, and that gut-wrenching ending that still hits too close to home. Was Mookie right? Was Sal wrong? And why does this film still hold up after all these years?
