Podcast appearances and mentions of Spike Lee

Black on Black Cinema tackles Chameleon Street (1989), Wendell B. Harris Jr.'s astonishing writer-director-star debut based on the true story of Detroit con artist William Douglas Street Jr., who successfully impersonated reporters, lawyers, an Ivy League exchange student, and even a surgeon, performing over 30 real hysterectomies without any medical training. The film won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 1990, beating out Reservoir Dogs, and then inexplicably went without distribution for over a year, effectively burying Harris's career before it started.The concept is genuinely brilliant, a razor-sharp satire about race, class, and identity performance in America, anchored by a magnetic, one-of-a-kind lead performance from Harris himself. But the execution is a different story. The film is tonally unpredictable, structurally chaotic, and at times narratively difficult to follow, swinging wildly between avant-garde experimentation and straightforward biopic beats without clear rhythm. We break down what makes Chameleon Street a genuine one-of-a-kind vision worth seeking out, where the filmmaking gets in its own way, and why this would be ripe for a modern remake with better structure and focus.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

Jamal Bryant called Nolan Wells' death a lynching on the boy's 19th birthday. He brought cake to the sanctuary. Ben Crump in the pulpit. Spike Lee in a pew. No charging document. Crump's independent autopsy still says undetermined. Jason Whitlock puts Pastor Jamal Bryant's Genesis shout and missing-throat line next to Jussie Smollett. Same empty file. Different pulpit. Parents asked what happened. Bryant sold a sequel. "Harmony." Culture, faith, and the plot hole they covered with hot rhetoric.

Black on Black Cinema breaks down the National Association of Black Journalists giving Stephen A. Smith its "Thumbs Down" award, reserved for commentary the organization considers especially insensitive, stereotypical, or at odds with NABJ's mission around fair representation of the Black community. NABJ's statement specifically cited Smith's recurring pattern of disparaging commentary toward prominent Black women across politics, sports, and media, saying it reinforces harmful narratives and undermines fair, respectful representation.We agree with NABJ here, and we break down exactly why. Smith has spent years building a media empire on saying whatever gets a reaction, and his commentary toward Black women specifically has followed a consistent, well documented pattern that deserves scrutiny; not just from critics online, but from an organization built to hold Black media figures accountable to Black communities. Smith's response was predictably combative, essentially promising retaliation on his platform. He even ran to Fox News' Sean Hannity to make his thoughts known. A curious platform if he is trying to reach Black people...hmmm. We discuss why that reaction proves NABJ's point more than it disproves it, what accountability from within the profession actually looks like, and why Smith's expanding political platform makes this moment even more significant.We also announce the next film to be reviewed which is the 1989 film "Chameleon Street" which follows a social chameleon who impersonates reporters, doctors and lawyers in order to make money.

Can you believe this is the first Spike Lee movie we've covered on the podcast? Lee is a director who's always had something to say about music, not always complimentary, and his Akira Kurosawa remake Highest 2 Lowest copped some flack for its take on modern hip-hop. It's the story of a legendary record label boss, played by Lee's recurrent collaborator Denzel Washington, who springs into action when his colleague's son is kidnapped.On this week's show, Simon reteams with Graham to talk about this complex, uneven but rewarding film, comparing its narrative priorities to Kurosawa's High and Low and exploring where it sits in Lee's canon. We also discuss its multiple musician cameos, including the weirdly negligible Ice Spice appearance and meatier roles for Princess Nokia and ASAP Rocky. You should listen to it as soon as possible.For the price of an extremely small ransom, you can get a bonus episode of this show - we've just dropped one on Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey - as well as other goodies like the end-of-month round-up podcast Last Night..., weekly written articles on The Twilight Zone and Doctor Who, and Graham's other podcast The Arts Hole.

“I'm not a one-man woman.” Join Ian & Megs for our 343rd episode as we head to Brooklyn for Spike Lee's audacious, provocative, micro-budget debut She's Gotta Have It (1986). It's sex, independence, competing egos, and three men absolutely convinced they should be the answer to a question Nola Darling never asked. Liam isn't with us this week — Nola told him she wasn't interested in exclusivity and he's been drafting a rebuttal ever since. Kev? He heard Mars Blackmon say “Please, baby, please” and has disappeared to practise his technique. This week we discuss: Who exactly are we supposed to like in this film? Nola, Jamie, Greer, Mars — everyone gets their moments, but are there actually any genuinely likeable characters in She's Gotta Have It? Tracy Camilla Johns as Nola Darling — independent, sexually confident, complicated and occasionally deeply frustrating. How radical was this protagonist in 1986, and how does she play almost forty years later? That Thanksgiving dinner. Inviting all three men you're sleeping with to the same Thanksgiving meal is certainly a choice — but is Nola being liberated, honest and refusing to hide, or is she actually being unnecessarily cruel? The acting is... a moving target. From genuinely effective performances to line readings that wouldn't survive an amateur theatre rehearsal, the quality fluctuates wildly — so why does the film somehow remain completely compelling? Spike Lee's extraordinary debut — made with virtually no money and enormous ambition. Does the roughness actually become part of the film's charm rather than something we need to forgive? Jamie, Greer and Mars — three wildly different approaches to masculinity, yet all three ultimately want Nola to change for them. Does any one of them actually understand her? Spike Lee as Mars Blackmon — annoying, hilarious, insecure, endlessly quotable and somehow destined to become bigger than the film itself. Megs explores Nola's agency — is the film genuinely celebrating a woman refusing to conform to expectations, or can Nola's independence occasionally become an excuse for treating other people badly? Ian questions the film's internal logic — particularly that ending. Nola and Jamie's final scene seems constructed exactly like the climax of a romantic comedy: she's lost the guy, walks away, he calls her back and gives her another chance. Everything about the cinematic language tells us this is the outcome we're supposed to want... until the film suddenly tells us it wasn't. The final confessional — previous confessionals lead into events that we actually witness. So why does the most important one simply tell us that everything went differently without ever showing it? And what about Nola's vow of celibacy? Is it genuine growth, or such a rejection of her defining characteristic that it feels like the film suddenly lost confidence in its own ending? Does the finale feel rewritten? There's no smoking gun proving that it was, but Ian makes the case that the internal logic, characterisation and sudden reliance on “tell, don't show” make those final minutes feel suspiciously like a late attempt to change what the audience takes away from the film. The film's sexual politics in 2026 — what's still strikingly progressive, what's become considerably more complicated, and how does one deeply troubling sequence change our relationship with Jamie and everything that follows? The black-and-white photography and that sudden explosion of colour — necessity becoming aesthetic, and the first signs of the extraordinarily confident visual filmmaker Spike Lee would become. And finally, whether She's Gotta Have It is the Best Film Ever — or a messy, inconsistent, sometimes infuriating debut that somehow shines brighter than many considerably more polished films.

Nesta edição do podcast Em Foco, nós analisamos "Ela Quer Tudo" (She's Gotta Have It, 1986), primeiro longa-metragem de Spike Lee ("Faça a Coisa Certa", "Infiltrado na Klan"). Este episódio especial celebra os 40 anos de lançamento do filme e traz uma entrevista exclusiva com o próprio Spike Lee. Selecionado para a Quinzena dos Realizadores no Festival de Cannes e premiado no Independent Spirit Awards, "Ela Quer Tudo" tem como protagonista Nola Darling, uma artista independente do Brooklyn, em Nova York, que se mantém fiel a si mesma e recusa as regras tradicionais da sociedade ao se relacionar com três homens ao mesmo tempo. Ela é interpretada por Tracy Camilla Johns e seus namorados são vividos por Tommy Redmond Hicks, John Canada Terrell e Spike Lee. Uma das estreias mais impressionantes de diretores de todos os tempos, "Ela Quer Tudo" chama a atenção pela discussão feminista sobre liberdade sexual e pela representação de personagens negros fora de estereótipos de violência e miséria. Ao mesmo tempo, é um filme bem-humorado e um deleite para os olhos e ouvidos, com Spike Lee esbanjando estilo na construção de sequências inventivas e de uma narrativa envolvente e moderna (com referências que vão de "Rashomon" a "O Mágico de Oz"), embalada pela trilha sonora de jazz composta pelo lendário músico Bill Lee, pai do cineasta. Confira abaixo a minutagem dos quadros e capítulos do podcast: 00:00:00 - Introdução 00:04:19 - Grande Angular: conheça a equipe por trás de “Ela Quer Tudo” 00:12:23 - Close-Up: saiba detalhes e curiosidades sobre a realização  do filme 00:19:22 - Entrevista exclusiva com Spike Lee 00:23:45 - Ponto de Vista: nossa análise do filme 00:57:12 - Zoom: nossas cenas favoritas comentadas 01:02:49 - Fora de Quadro: a série "Ela Quer Tudo" que Spike Lee dirigiu para a Netflix - Visite a página do podcast no site e confira material extra sobre o tema do episódio - Junte-se ao Cineclube Cinematório e tenha acesso a conteúdo exclusivo de cinema Tradução da entrevista com Spike Lee: Cinematório: “Luta de Classes” começa em um tom mais dramático até chegarmos a Denzel e Jeffrey indo atrás do sequestrador. Há tensão naquela primeira metade é claro, mas eu tive a impressão de que você quis tentar algo diferente ali, indo mais fundo no drama. Essa era a sua intenção? Spike Lee: Bem, eu não sei se posso dizer realmente que... Quero dizer, a minha intenção é sempre contar a melhor história que eu posso. E mesmo na fonte original, o filme de Akira Kurosawa, “Céu e Inferno”, as coisas realmente não começam a ficar movimentadas até o dinheiro ser pago. Digo, o dinheiro do resgate. E neste filme são $17,5 milhões de francos suíços. Então, você tem que reservar um tempo para estabelecer isso. E uma vez que está estabelecido, é quando Denzel, o personagem que ele interpreta, deixa sua cobertura e vai para o metrô. Então, eles descem lá e é aí que o filme realmente decola. Então, nós sabíamos que para chegar ali teríamos que estabelecer as bases primeiro. Cinematório: Com certeza. E já que a primeira adaptação do livro de Evan Hunter foi feita por Kurosawa, eu gostaria de saber como Kurosawa inspirou você como cineasta? Spike Lee: Minha inspiração como cineasta veio de, grande parte, do meu primeiro ano estudando na Escola de Cinema de Nova York, onde Ernest Dickerson, meu diretor de fotografia de longa data, e Ang Lee éramos colegas de sala. Foi lá que eu realmente fui apresentado ao cinema mundial. E a premissa de “Rashomon” eu usei no meu primeiro longa-metragem, “Ela Quer Tudo”. E como você pode ver, esta foto [aponta para a parede] foi autografada pelo mestre. Então, na sala de edição, imagino que ele está sempre olhando por cima do meu ombro! [risos] E eu perguntaria pra ele: “Como estamos indo, senhor? Como estamos? Está ficando bom?” E ele me daria o polegar para cima! [risos] Cinematório: Maravilhoso! E você poderia falar sobre a música? Tanto a música escrita e cantada por Ayanna, que é linda, e a música composta por Howard Drossin, que me pareceu tão épica para um drama tão pessoal. Spike Lee: Bem, a música é uma das ferramentas mais importantes que tenho na minha caixa. Para melhor ou pior, dependendo de quem são as pessoas, para mim a música é tão importante quanto a fotografia, a montagem, a direção de arte, o figurino. É uma ótima ferramenta se você usá-la corretamente. E para mim nunca foi apenas sobre fazer uso da música como se fosse uma jukebox onde você pega um monte de músicas de sucesso e põe para tocar, a menos que seja talvez em um filme de época. Um filme que se passe em uma determinada época. Mas eu amo música. E eu conheço o poder da música. Porque eu sei, veja bem, o público no cinema não sabe como uma cena fica sem a música e depois com a música... E eu sei o que estou fazendo sem a música. É uma ferramenta, da mesma forma que as outras que eu mencionei, fotografia, montagem... É uma ferramenta para contar a sua história. -- O podcast Em Foco é produzido e apresentado por Renato Silveira e Kel Gomes, editores do cinematório.

Rosie Perez has long been synonymous with New York and hip hop culture, starting with her appearances on “Soul Train”, her iconic choreographies and her big break with Spike Lee in “Do the Right Thing”. But when the Oscar, Golden Globe, and Emmy-nominated actress received a call to host a podcast about salsa music history, the native Nuyorican immediately said yes. Rosie is the host of Futuro Media’s new podcast “Our Thing: The Birth of Salsa in Nueva York” about the history of salsa in the city, the legends behind the music and Fania Records–often called “the Motown of Salsa”. On this episode of Latino USA recorded in front of a live audience at WNYC’s The Greene Space in New York City, Rosie Perez opens up about the experience. We discuss her love of boxing, what it means to grow up Nuyorican, and what salsa history means to her. Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.

He wasn't a doctor, but he talked his way past the barricades on 9/11 anyway — and spent the next 24 hours saving strangers' eyes.Author, Neil Adams, joins Brigitte Cutshall to talk about his book "From the Pile", written to honor his late best friend Michael Dorian — a veterinary technician who posed as medical personnel to help injured firefighters at Ground Zero on 9/11.Neil shares how Michael's selfless act ultimately cost him his health, the years-long fight to prove he was there, and the surprising twists (a lost news tape, a local Emmy, a Spike Lee documentary "Epicenters") that followed.Takeaways:(1) A civilian with no medical credentials talked his way into helping first responders on 9/11; and it changed the rest of his life.(2) Proving he was there decades later became its own story, complete with a rediscovered news tape and an Emmy win.(3) Michael's life became one of quiet redemption, using his final years to help others and leave a legacy through Neil's book.To learn more about Michael's story, watch the Emmy-winning news footage, or order your copy of "From the Pile", visit https://readneiladams.com or request a copy of the book at your local brick-and-mortar bookstore today!

Three days after Nolan Wells' body was found, Ben Crump flew to New York for a press conference with Al Sharpton. Then the circus moved to Mississippi, where Sharpton eulogized a boy he never knew. And this morning it landed in Chicago — where Crump announced the autopsy HE paid for from the stage of the NAACP Convention. Along the way, he has picked up a band: Tyler Perry, Spike Lee, Terrell Owens, Hakeem Jeffries, and Stephen A. Smith. Jason Whitlock breaks down how a family's tragedy became a three-city traveling road show — and why the louder the circus gets, the farther justice slips away. ➢ Show Outline 00:00 - The Emmett Till Playbook 01:00 - The Circus Begins 01:46 - What We Know About Nolan Wells 03:18 - The Tour Dates of the Circus 05:17 - Following the Money Trail 06:14 - The Assembled Band 07:20 - Stephen A.

Episode 203 is another instalment in our Page to Screen series. This time we read Clockers by Richard Price and watched the Spike Lee film adaptation of the same name. We loved how the book and the film each have their own distinct vibe and definitely need to watch more Spike Lee films. (And maybe rewatch The Wire?)Show NotesRichard Price has also written screenplays, including The Wire, The Deuce, and the Martin Scorsese film, The Color of Money, for which he received an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.This was Mekhi Phifer's first film, and he got the part through an open casting call.In our next episode, we'll be talking about What Moves the Dead by T Kingfisher.Read along with our next book club pick, the graphic novel adaptation of The Dream Thieves by Maggie Steifvater.Other Films by Spike LeeDo the Right ThingShe's Gotta Have ItJungle FeverMalcolm XBlacKkKlansman Other Books, Authors & Films MentionedMystic River Gone Baby Gone Dennis LehaneAnnihilationThe MartianJurassic ParkUnder the Bridge

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with Jason P. Woodbury. Near the end of his latest LP Indigo Park, our guest this week, Bruce Hornsby, sings something of a conclusion. Or perhaps, a belated introduction: "I've been seeking magical thinking/I think I detect a trend/This could be the start of something/Or this could be an end." The lyric isn't cited to suggest the 71-year-old songwriter is going anywhere. If anything, Indigo Park speaks to the hot streak Hornsby's been on since 2019's Absolute Zero. With that album, he began mining his vast bank of musical cues created for various projects with his longtime collaborator Spike Lee, crafting them into full songs. To his surprise, these late period albums caught the attention of fans of adventurous music, his reputation bolstered by artists like Bon Iver, Vampire Weekend, Haim, and others citing Hornsby as an elder statesman. Recorded with co-producers Tony Berg and Will Maclellan at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles and The Large Cloth-Eared Collider in Williamsburg, Virginia, Indigo Park demonstrates just how unexpectedly Hornsby operates.  From the chiming folk rock of the title track to the Bonnie Raitt-assisted art pop of "Ecstatic" to "Might As Well Be Me, Florinda," a woozy duet with the late Bob Weir aided by the sparking guitar of Blake Mills and Pino Palladino's liquid metal bass, the album showcases Hornsby's vast—ahem—range. At once funny, poignant, and audacious, it's a gem, one of my favorite records of 2026.   Earlier this year, Aquarium Drunkard caught up with him to discuss the album, basketball chants, his work with The Grateful Dead and the Dead's legacy, his taste in literary fiction, and much more. We published a condensed and edited version of this interview in print on Aquarium Drunkard back in April, but now, we're pleased to present the full chat in the podcast feed—complete with an exclusive piano performance that sonically illustrates Hornsby's Protestant hymn-soaked youth in Christian Science congregation.

This week on Black on Black Cinema we break down the collapse of Graham Platner's Maine Senate campaign and why none of us were surprised. For months, white leftists rallied behind Platner despite a tattoo associated with WW2 fascism, resurfaced posts disparaging veterans and sexual assault survivors on Reddit, and troubling accounts from past relationships. None of it mattered until an ex-girlfriend came forward with a serious sexual assault allegation, and only then did the Democratic Party's left wing scramble to distance themselves and Platner suspended his campaign.We ask the real question: why did it take THIS allegation to move people who already had every reason to walk away months ago? We break down how "winning at all costs" politics let a deeply flawed candidate skate through a primary while the warning signs sat in plain sight, and what this says about who gets the benefit of the doubt and for how long.Then we announce our next film: Stepfather (2026), Chris Stokes' Tubi thriller starring Taye Diggs as a man obsessed with building the "perfect family." We preview what to expect from Diggs' performance and Stokes' latest entry into his growing catalog of Tubi originals.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

This week on Black on Black Cinema we take a deep dive into Above the Rim (1994), the final entry in Barry Michael Cooper's Harlem Trilogy following New Jack City and Sugar Hill. Directed by Jeff Pollack in his feature debut, the film stars Duane Martin as Kyle Watson, a high school basketball star torn between two men; Shep (Leon), a security guard with a complicated past seeking redemption, and Birdie (Tupac Shakur), a dangerous local drug dealer who wants to use Kyle's talent for his own ends. Marlon Wayans, Bernie Mac, Wood Harris, and Tonya Pinkins round out the cast.We break down what works, what doesn't, the Harlem Trilogy peaks and valleys, Tupac's performance legacy, and why Above the Rim remains a film of moments rather than a complete film.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

On this episode, we dive into Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing, a movie that somehow feels like it's baked into America's bloodstream. We're talking oppressive heat, blaring boom boxes, and one summer day that turns a Brooklyn block into a pressure cooker for race, rage, and “doing the right thing.” Is Bugging Out just an early version of cancel culture, or is he the only one calling out a broken system? Did Mookie actually do the right thing when he threw that trash can, and who's really responsible for Radio Raheem's death? Is the true villain the cops, Sal, the neighborhood… or the heat itself that pushes everybody past their breaking point? •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:10:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:15:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:37 :00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **.

Black on Black Cinema announces our next full review: Above the Rim (1994), the final entry in Barry Michael Cooper's Harlem Trilogy. Directed by Jeff Pollack and starring Duane Martin, Tupac Shakur, Leon, Marlon Wayans, Bernie Mac, and Wood Harris. Above the Rim follows high school basketball star Kyle Watson torn between Shep, a fallen athlete trying to redeem himself, and Birdie, a dangerous drug dealer who happens to be Shep's brother. Tupac Shakur's final theatrical film before his 1996 death is reason enough to revisit it.Then we get into the real conversation: Donald Trump has become everything racists feared a Black president would be. Barack Obama had to be practically perfect to even be considered; Harvard Law, Constitutional law professor, decorated Senator, devoted husband and father, scandal-free, measured, dignified. Every box checked. Meanwhile Trump arrived with business failures, fraud convictions, hush money payments, multiple affairs, and a career built on corruption. Ta-Nehisi Coates called Trump "the first white president;" not merely because he's white, but because his entire political existence hinges on the fact of a Black president. His campaign started with birtherism. Coates wrote: "It is as if the white tribe united to say — if a Black man can be president, then any white man, no matter how fallen, can be president." We unpack what that means in 2026.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.
