This week, James, Jerah, and Jon are covering Get on the Bus (1996), directed by Spike Lee, written by Reggie Rock Bythewood, starring De'aundre Bonds, Andre Braugher, Thomas Jefferson Byrd, Gabriel Casseus, Albert Hall, Hill Harper, Harry Lennix, Bernie Mac, Wendell Pierce, Roger Guenveur Smith, Isaiah Washington, Steve White, Ossie Davis, Charles S. Dutton, and Richard Belzer.
