Welcome to Episode 15 of Film Explorers, a podcast about exploring the bounds of cinema. Jackson and Joey came up with Spike Lee, Josh chose Da 5 Bloods, Spike's underrated Vietnam War film as well as the home of one of Chadwick Boseman's final performances. We talk politics in film, Delroy Lindo's eyes, and how directors should be less afraid to be bold. And yes, this episode contains Mank (2020) slander. If you or a loved one is sensitive to that, this episode may not be for you.
Other topics include: Josh's obsession with Bottoms (the jokes write themselves), Jackson's defense of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and the genesis of Joey's Soderbergh journey (Soderberghney? Name TBD).
