Mo' Better Blues feat. Michael Lee Nirenberg
from The Shame List Picture Show Hosted by Someone's Favorite Productions
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Shame List Picture Show. On this episode, I am joined by filmmaker, writer, and artist Michael Lee Nirenberg! Michael is joining us to promote his newest book, Cinematic Immunity: An Oral History of New York Filmmaking As Told by the Crews that Got the Shot, which was recently released by Feral House. It is a wonderful collection of interviews and essays from some of New York City's below-the-line film workers who helped build New York City's independent film culture. On this episode, we're tackling a film that is on both Michael's Shame Lists—Spike Lee's Mo' Better Blues. It's a beautiful film that features Spike Lee's signature view of the world, phenomenal performances, and music that will stick with you. We discuss New York City filmmaker, the influence of jazz, and some crazy stories from behind the scenes. This is a conversation you won't want to miss.
