In this episode of the show we are adding a notch to our Spike Lee belt by talking about his mostly forgotten 90s piece, Get on the Bus. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Spike Lee playing with form, advancing his concepts of cinematic activism and whether a single-location movie like this could ever be conceived as a commercial endeavor. We also talk about Lee's ongoing theme of absentee fatherhood, using slick conceptual metaphors to encapsulate archetypal storytelling, that Randy Quaid cameo and more. And naturally, Randy finds an opportunity to talk about Homicide: Life on the Street.
Tune in and enjoy!
