This week on the podcast, Mike and Steven wrap up Stories of Summer month with a deep dive into Spike Lee’s 1994 coming-of-age classic, Crooklyn. Set in 1970s Brooklyn and co-written by Spike Lee, his sister Joie, and brother Cinqué, this heartfelt film offers an intimate, stylized portrait of a Black family navigating life, love, and loss during one unforgettable summer. The guys have a lot to say about Lee as a director, how this film fits into his filmography, the impact of that tough ending, and much more.
In the news segment:
- Jamie Lee Curtis to reboot Murder, She Wrote
- Tim Burton and Margot Robbie collaborate on a remake of Attack of the 50-Foot Woman
