Between 1976 and 1977, “The .44 caliber Killer” as he was known in the press, murdered six people and injured seven more in shootings across the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. He targeted young women and young couples, including, most famously, couples parked in cars at night and left cryptic messages, taunting the police and calling himself the “Son of Sam”.23 years later, Director Spike Lee produced the crime thriller “Summer of Sam”, chronicaling the effects of a group of residents in New York, living through  the killer's reign  of terror. On this episode we'll take a look at the 1999 film, ‘Summer of Sam'' directed by Spike Lee, starring John Leguizamo, Adrien Brody, and Mira Sorvino as well as the year-long murder spree and bizare investigation that inspired it.Sex, drugs, disco, a record-setting heat wave, 24 hour blackout, and a city terrorized by a gun toting serial killer who claimed to take orders from his neighbor's dog.This is the story of the notorious serial killer David Berkowitz, known as the Son of Sam, and the Spike Lee joint he inspired.

Having spent the better part of 21 years working Undercover Narcotics, by the time he retired as a 2nd Grade Detective Arthur Nascarella had learned more about high stakes “acting" than anybody this side of Donnie Brasco. From the moment he finally stepped in front of the camera at the age of 46, he found himself an in-demand character actor. Quickly compiling over 80 credits to his name, he fast became a favorite go-to actor for iconic Director Spike Lee — having been cast in no less than nine Spike Lee Joints (and counting…)Whether working alongside megastars the likes of Robert De Niro & Sylvester Stallone, to A-List filmmakers Martin Scorsese & James Mangold, he has built a reputation for making daring &fearless choices on set.

Despite certain... *Things* happening, or more specifically NOT happening this month, we assure you it is, in fact, Black History Month! Much like we did in November with Edgar Wright, we thought it only natural to jump on the opportunity to analyze and discuss a giant in black cinema, Spike Lee. We're looking at three major career films: '89s Do The Right Thing, '92s Malcolm X, and '18s BlacKkKlansman.

Director Spike Lee discusses his new film, Da 5 Bloods, with fellow director Kevin Willmott in a spoiler-filled virtual Q&A. The film follows four African-American veterans, who battle the forces of both man and nature when they return to Vietnam, seeking the remains of their fallen squad leader and the gold fortune he helped them hide.

Director Spike Lee participates in a conversation with John Turturro on Lee's early life and influences, his philosophy as a creative, and his beloved Brooklyn. Mr. Lee discusses his directing process using examples from Do the Right Thing, Mo Better Blues, Crooklyn, and Malcolm X.

David Byrne and Spike Lee. Two artists with very defined, very distinct, and yet very different, sensibilities — but when you put them together, it works. The theatrical concert film David Byrne's American Utopia, now streaming on HBO Max, is a career-spanning celebration of Byrne's music, both with Talking Heads and his solo work. Director Spike Lee shoots the stage of Broadway's Hudson Theater from a host of angles to capture the exuberant, rollicking — yet rigorously choreographed energy — of Byrne and his fellow barefoot, silver-gray-suited performers.

This weekend sees the announcement of the winners of this year's Baftas - the British Academy Film Awards - and Stig talks to two of the stars in London for the event. Director Spike Lee attracted a great deal of attention with his first feature She's Gotta Have It in 1986, yet despite his later films including Do the Right Thing, Mo' Better Blues, Malcolm X and Summer of Sam, he was never nominated in the director category for either the Oscars or the Baftas. But this year he is in the running at both events for his latest film BlacKkKlansman, the true story of a black police officer infiltrating the Ku Klux Klan. Spike Lee discusses the film which is Bafta-nominated for Best Director, Best Film, and Best Adapted Screenplay.Oscar-winner Thelma Schoonmaker has been editing the films of Martin Scorsese for over five decades including Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Departed and The Wolf of Wall Street. This Sunday she will receive the British Academy of Film and Television Arts' highest accolade, the BAFTA Fellowship. She looks back at her career and their extraordinary partnership.And we remember the stage and screen actor Albert Finney, whose death was announced today. Finney's notable roles included the films Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and Tom Jones, and he won a Bafta for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in the TV film The Gathering Storm. The film's director Richard Loncraine looks back at Albert Finney's career.Presenter Stig Abell Producer Jerome Weatherald

Spike on keeping Oscar season in perspective, film school today, and how the success of "BlacKkKlansman" has led people to reconsider his 40 years of filmmaking.

In this exclusive SoundWorks Collection podcast we talk with the sound and music team of Director Spike Lee's new film BlacKkKlansman including Composer Terence Blanchard, Re-recording Mixer Tom Fleischman and Sound Mixer Drew Kunin. It’s the early 1970s, a time of great social upheaval as the struggle for civil rights rages on. Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) becomes the first African-American detective on the Colorado Springs Police Department, but his arrival is greeted with skepticism and open hostility by the department’s rank and file. Undaunted, Stallworth resolves to make a name for himself and a difference in his community. He bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan. Posing as a racist extremist, Stallworth contacts the group and soon finds himself invited into its inner circle. He even cultivates a relationship with the Klan’s Grand Wizard, David Duke (Topher Grace), who praises Ron’s commitment to the advancement of White America. With the undercover investigation growing ever more complex, Stallworth’s colleague, Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), poses as Ron in face-to-face meetings with members of hate group, gaining insider’s knowledge of a deadly plot. Together, Stallworth and Zimmerman team up to take down the organization whose real aim is to sanitize its violent rhetoric to appeal to the mainstream.

Jay and Chris are back talking about BlacKkKlansman, the latest entry from acclaimed Director Spike Lee. The film stars John David Washington and Adam Driver. The guys discuss how this film stacks up with the some of Spike’s most memorable work. Also, what about the alleged dust up between Lee and “Sorry to Bother You” director Boots Riley? Something or much ado about nothing? Jay and Chris also talk about the message of the film? Given today’s social and political climate, did the film try too hard to “hit all of the notes” in one sitting?

Director Spike Lee discusses his film, BlacKkKlansman, with fellow director John Singleton. Set in the early 1970s amid the ongoing struggle for civil rights, the film tells the true story of Ron Stallworth, the first African-American detective on the Colorado Springs Police Department. Ron's arrival is greeted with skepticism and open hostility by the department's rank and file, but he soon makes a name for himself with a dangerous undercover mission to infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan.
