Spike Lee's 'Do the Right Thing' Panel (Part 1)
**Episode correction: Dr. Janna Jones is professor of Media Studies at Northern Arizona University.**
Dr. Janna Jones discusses Do the Right Thing (Spike Lee, 1989). She gives political and cultural context for the time, exposes the change Public Enemy brought to rap music, and notes the duality of Love/Hate punctuated by moments of anger and moments of tenderness throughout the film.
This discussion is augmented with short clips from the film and other useful media.

Please be aware that while some strong language was edited from the episode, it was not always possible to do so. There is still strong language that may not be appropriate for younger children.
