Is Do the Right Thing as vital and important as ever? (Rebroadcast)

Today we present our original 2-part episode on Do The Right Thing, the 1989 classic film by Spike Lee. (Originally released August/September 2022) As you should well know, "Fight the Power" by Public Enemy features prominently in the film, and if you're listening to this in mid-April of 2024, you should know that Chuck D from Public Enemy will be in conversation with our man DJ ARM 18, Andrew McIntosh on April 16th at Northampton Community College. Information on that event is at northampton.edu. Your HHMCs JB, BooGie and me, DynoWright will be there. Come through and hang with us! Topics discussed: This film forces you think and feel something, and is still fresh and relevant "Fight the Power" and how it came to be part of the movie A cavalcade of stars and soon-to-be stars, plus expert cinematography (by Ernest Dickerson) that enhances the themes of the film Is Sal racist? Could Sal and Mookie continue having a relationship after all that happened, or are they done?
