Welcome to Saturday Night Popcorn where we discuss films from genres and time periods. In this episode, we revisit one of the most influential and controversial films of the late 1980s: Do the Right Thing by Spike Lee.
Set on a hot summer day in Brooklyn, the film explores the racial tensions and conflicts that erupt in a diverse neighborhood, culminating in a tragic confrontation between the police and a young black man. We discuss the film’s themes, characters, style, music, and legacy, as well as its relevance to the current social and political climate. We also share our personal opinions and reactions to the film, and debate whether the characters did the right thing or not.
Join us for a lively and insightful conversation about this cinematic masterpiece.
*Spoiler Warning* As a general warning we discuss the film in detail and often will comment on scenes or aspects of the film that could spoil it for a listener who has not seen the film we are discussing.
