We fire up our first Spike Lee Joint and babble about Summer of Sam, his 1999 snapshot of a late '70s New York City that was in the heightened throes of serial killer paranoia. Marcus examines why he thought he disliked this (he saw it years ago and forgot about it but remembered not caring for it), and Matt pitches a theory about Lee and Martin Scorsese's "Bringing Out The Dead". Also, what is our relationship to Lee's work, and how neatly does Summer of Sam fit into it?
