In this episode of the show we are again touching base with our hero of the year, Spike Lee, as we talk about his 1995 outing Clockers. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Lee taking his cinema close to Martin Scorsese, whether this movie is a continuation of film activism the filmmaker has been advancing his entire career and whether it attempts to have a difficult conversation with the viewer about the problem of fatherlessness in American communities. We also talk about the movie's literary connection to trains, distance between Penn Station and Port Authority and much more.
Tune in and enjoy!
