New To You ep327: Hot, Hot, Hot! Pt3

Do the Right Thing (movie 1989)

Jules’ pick for the Hot topic is Spike Lee’s indy feature that explores growing tensions in the growing heat of a summer in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn.

The film kicks off style as Rosie Perez dances in front of stage-lit stoops

Using classic theatrical tropes to contrast the individuals Spike Lee is able to deftly get to the subtle tensions of race and community.

You can purchase Do The Right Thing on iTunes or Amazon. It is streaming on HBO as of this recording.
