S2E8 -- Spike Lee Part 1 of 2! Da Five Bloods! Dave Chappelle's 8:46!

Spike Lee comes out with a new movie, just in time. Perfectly topical story that alternates between modern day and the Vietnam War… we talk about it.

Also, Dave Chappelle dropped a surprise set on Netflix’s YouTube page, a 27-minute monologue that isn’t very funny, but incredibly raw, powerful, and appropriate. It’s a must-watch, everyone.

Finally, we begin our two-part series delving into Spike’s career as a filmmaker, focusing primarily on his bigger titles from the late-80s through the mid-90s. Next week we will continue the discussion while including his work in documentary, shorts, and music videos (or “short films” as Spike calls them, so we will too — short films!). Listen, rate, subscribe, and go check out Da 5 Bloods on Netflix!

Tom likes to write, read, watch, listen, and all that jazz. he's pretty boring.

Tom Bond grew up in a suburb of Boston. Then he went to Vermont. Brrr, baby, VERY brrr! Then he moved to New York City (aka The BIG APPLE!), But now he lives in Los Angeles (aka The Angeles). He writes, pods, bites (food), and logs (data). Be my friend (it's me Tom I wrote this whole thing).
