Da 5 Bloods / The King of Staten Island / Spike Lee Pick Six / 13th

We kick off Episode 55 with a conversation on Spike Lee's newest Joint, the Netflix-backed DA 5 BLOODS. The auteur has a lot on his mind - as always - and he employs an ensemble led by the ever-reliable Delroy Lindo to paint the picture. We dig into the mine field and give our thoughts. 

Our second new flick this week is the Judd Apatow/Pete Davidson collaboration, THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND. The two push each other out of their comfort zones to explore some different terrain, but does it work? We discuss. 

There seemed to be no better time to unveil our Spike Lee PICK SIX segment. We each rank our SIX FAVORITE SPIKE LEE FILMS OF ALL-TIME. Unsurprisingly, this was not an easy list to trim down and then order. 

Closing out the show this week for the latest THROWBACK CHALLENGE, is a sit down with Ava Duvernay's 2016 Netflix documentary, 13th. It takes a scalpel to the US prison system and displays some alarming racial injustices that have been deep-seeded for a long time. 

Much love to you all. Thanks for listening. 

Cheers!
