In this inaugural episode of our Patreon side of the 2024 Spike Lee retrospective, we are looking at his sophomore feature School Daze. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the sophomore ego, the surprise of this movie being a musical and the perils of stuffing a musical template with too much content. We also talk about Spike Lee’s acting chops or lack thereof, the movie as a conversation about intracommunal animosities, the college privilege and whether School Daze would have been better placed as a later entry in Spike Lee’s filmography. Tune in and enjoy!

Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows

Featuring: Jak-Luke Sharp
