Summary

Shelton Jackson “Spike” Lee is an institution of American filmmaking & a standard of excellence for which other directors/producers/scriptwriters are measured. His legacy spans 40 plus years and 5 decades of innovative film, television & commercial creation. He is a name and face that almost everyone on earth knows due to his proximity to the New York Knicks, Michael Jordan, Denzel Washington & his iconic film production hub 40 Acres And A Mule.  Spike’s penchant for detailed storytelling and innovative cinematography have landed him in the Library of Congress 5x for preservation in the National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". In the words of Kendrick Lamar, “he’s what the culture feeling!” We are joined by Spike today for an amazing episode where we discuss him first falling in love with filmmaking, his influences in the genre, being inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, his unwavering support for Kamala Harris, and he tells us a MIND BLOWING 🤯story on the creation of Malcolm X. Spike also provides with an eloquent breakdown of “make up calls” at the Oscars and answers the question “HOW COLD WAS BERNARD KING?” All this and more on The Spike Lee Joint with TRPE!! 🏆  As always for more exclusive content and resources subscribe to us on Patreon FORFREE and follow us on social media.
