Episode 167 - Jungle Fever
Manage episode 410775199 series 2892463
In this episode of the show, we are talking about Spike Lee's Jungle Fever, a dense societal diorama that begins with a premise of an elevated screwball rom-com and descends into deep and heavy thematic deliberations on race, relationships, drugs and familial sins. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Spike Lee finding his footing as a cinematic preacher, workplace racism, Wesley Snipes and Annabella Sciorra owning the screen, and Samuel L. Jackson spreading his wings. We also talk about how men and women talk about their sexual relationships differently, the NYPD response time being incredibly quick when it is convenient, and how many people can one reasonably expect to dwell in a single crack house.
Tune in and enjoy!
Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows
Intro: Infraction - Cassette
Outro: Infraction - Daydream
