This week, James, Jerah, and Jon are covering Get on the Bus (1996), directed by Spike Lee, written by Reggie Rock Bythewood, starring De'aundre Bonds, Andre Braugher, Thomas Jefferson Byrd, Gabriel Casseus, Albert Hall, Hill Harper, Harry Lennix, Bernie Mac, Wendell Pierce, Roger Guenveur Smith, Isaiah Washington, Steve White, Ossie Davis, Charles S. Dutton, and Richard Belzer. Together, they discuss what Jerah encountered at the West Hollywood No Kings Protest, where Bernie Mac's character went in the film, Randy Quaid's uncredited appearance, Jerah attending the Million Man March as a kid, just how rough 2025 feels relative to the era the film depicts, loving talky movies, the film's continuing relevance today, and much, much more!

0:08.1 | Okay, I will say I did pitch this movie where there's another movie that Bray pitched |
0:15.0 | that we should still do. |
0:16.4 | But I pitched this movie because, you know, I went to the, the, what was it, no kings. |
0:23.5 | Is that what it's called? |
0:24.3 | No Kings protest. |
0:25.7 | The no kings protest. |
