In this episode of our sprawling Spike Lee Retrospective we are talking about Miracle at St. Anna. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us wonder if this movie signifies a shift in Spike Lee’s interests, how it could be seen as Lee’s The Longest Day and whether it functions as a pre-eminent war drama capable of standing toe to toe with some of the classics of the genre. We also talk about the little known history of the Buffalo Soldiers, the many hats the director is trying on while working with an incredibly dense script and whether the story makes rudimentary sense at all.

Tune in and enjoy!
