July is New York month, and we begin with Emma's pick, Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing (1989). First, we have changed our structure, so in leui of a weekly recently watched episode, we begin with a catch up conversation starting with Freddy's recent live music outing and a review of I Love Boosters (2026) (5:30:00). Then, C-Bear shares what comics he has been reading (28:55), and Emma updates everyone on her movie-related new job and also reviews Disclosure Day (2026) (38:20). Finally, we start our discussion of Do The Right Thing with a summary (1:00:15) before the main conversation about Spike Lee's signature filmmaking traits and how the film depicts love and hate in all of its forms (1:05:50). Stay tuned for a sneak peak into the upcoming July episodes (2:14:00)!
