Episode 202 - Chi-Raq
from Uncut Gems Podcast · host Uncut Gems Podcast
In this episode of the show we are finishing the main show part of our Spike Lee Joint-a-Thon as we discuss the final minor joint of this retrospective, the 2015 Chi-Raq. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about Spike Lee once again getting on his soap box and delivering a dense and busy treaty underpinned by political ire. We talk about the filmmaker speaking to women as opposed to on behalf of them, the idea of delivering a heightened satire inspired by an ancient Greek play and the many complex notions permeating the movie. We also spare a few thoughts about John Cusack's monologue, the many crass and innuendo-laden moments of the movie and the fundamental controversy of wearing Confederate speedos. Tune in and enjoy!
