32:28 Get a second camera my guys! WTF?!?!?!?! Wesley Morris dancing and the entire internet missed it?? Least rewatchable moment of this rewtachables!
What a great discussion. And so glad to have the video. Not sure I would have caught how moved Wesley was after the Rosie story in audio only. Love the ringer!!!
Do the Right Thing was Martin Lawrence's first feature film role, but he had appeared in 22 episodes of the last season of What's Happening Now!! before this.
IDK maybe it's because hip hop culture was a relatively new thing especially in film at the time but in hearing the critics you read it reminds of some of the hysteria over Elvis in the 1950s. Also fwiw Ran is my vote for best film of the 80's.
1:27:00 Im glad that somebody caught onto the Fact that "Da Mayor" and Mother Sister had a prior Relationship in the past and they were very likely Sexually Active. Which is why she is so Sour on him at that point in the film because he was likely Boning other Women and got Caught (And that he's a Drunken Loser) Their last Scene together in the film is a way of the 2 of them "making up" in a sense
I am commenting like a maniac on all these Rewatchables clips, but fuck it. I am volunteering to be on these podcasts. I could do it, and it would be great.
Heads up: Ozu had characters speaking into the camera before Spike was born, and the Love/Hate thing was done in NIGHT OF THE HUNTER decades before, too. Great film, enjoyed the discussion.
The casting of Rosie probably wasn't as happenstance as they suggest here. She'd been dancing like that for years of Soul Train, look it up on youtube. The routine is almost identical in parts.
Weekend at Bernie's II. Toughest sell ever. "Remember the hit movie we had four years ago with the dead guy? How about a sequel with his putrefying corpse?"
I guess I'm one of the people who didn't understand the movie and yeah, I know I'm not american and I can't fully understand the culture but pleeease explain to me how "the other side of Sal" is "not liking rap" and defending himself from "agressive people trying to control his business". I just don't get it man?! What is he supposed to do? Tell them "Yeah, the music you like is great and you should choose the interior decoration in my place!" And why did Sal deserved to have his place trashed?? Because that one character is the "White man" responsible for everything? The dude who's been living with them for so long? I get that there is no "right thing" but why "trash the place or not trash the place" is the only choise at all?? I keep looking for an answer but the only thing I get is basically either "If you don't get it, you don't get it!" or "Well, you're white, that's why you don't get it!" As the movie is so praised, I'd really like to see what I'm not seeing now!
I'm glad I'm not the only one! I've watched it twice, once with my bf, and it doesn't make sense. It's crazy to see so many people praising this film. I know your comment is one year old but I got excited about seeing someone else with the same opinion as me about this film.
@@williamroper5422 I tried to see if the scene was on UA-cam I can’t find it. It’s from a short scene when some police come in the pizza shop. They basically say maybe trump would want to come into the neighborhood and gentrify it. It’s faint too like as the scenes fading if I’m not mistaken. Very quick remark. What’s crazy is that happened Brooklyn is gentrified now and those black people can’t even afford to live there anymore and even if they can. People like Trump are so discriminatory with housing
The funniest guy in the basketball shirsey heat check scene is the Brooklyn black guy rocking the Lakers shirsey angry at the Brooklyn white guy rocking the Celtics shirsey.
Enjoyable episode. I'm going to be blunt. The more I hear Mr. Morris talk the more amazed I am he gets paid fro his opinions. He's so ill informed its kind of staggering. Mr. Fennessey is completely coherent and had some genuine insight into the film. Mr. Morris constantly had trouble expressing himself, right from the start on that Wikipedia entry. Holy Smokes. I said I'm going to be blunt. I totally get why the numbers for Mr. Morris' podcast are so dreadful. I totally get it. The other host was great.
The absolute TRAVESTY committed forgetting THE Richard Edson as That Guy. He's Sal from Platoon and the smooth-talking garage attendant from Ferris Bueller. I mean...come ON
So Stupid the Dance Timeouts are off-screen WTF? Fennessey giggling his like a dork Instead he Didn't Do the Right Thing of giving the people what they want and calling out Morris. Yuck
w/out Simmons, this is a bore. I just saw Beverly Hills Cop discussion and that grabbed my attention and that movie was way less thought provoking than "Do the Right Thing". This had potential for a good discussion but crashed.
Wesley the conversation around this movie was so terrible for a few reasons. The prevailing thought was a movie that heavily centered on race with a primarily predominately black cast was going to incite violence in theaters and in the streets. The subtext was that black people wouldn't be able to corral their emotions after watching this film. If black people saw this it would lead to riots and civil unrest. The people who made these comments plainly didn't people black people were mature enough to not destroy the world after seeing this movie. That's one my lasting memories off this movie.
I fucks with Y'all, but you are wrong on what the movie is about. It's hot in Brooklyn kid. do you know what it's like in the hood on a 100 degree day? shit happens and this movie is a day in the life in Bk on a hot ass day. Yes the no black people on the wall was the reason for the ending, but it really was a day in the life that ended in a riot. It was funny, piongnet, and just amazing. So go back to Massachusetts, watch it again and holler at a nigga.
Not a Wesley fan. I'm not sure what other options we would have had in his place but I'm not rolling. Incredibly intelligent...no doubt...but this ain't it.

I love Wesley Morris! So refreshing
32:28 Get a second camera my guys! WTF?!?!?!?! Wesley Morris dancing and the entire internet missed it?? Least rewatchable moment of this rewtachables!
That block of Stuyvesant Avenue in Brooklyn, between Lexington Avenue and Quincy Street, is now Do the Right Thing Way.
What a great discussion. And so glad to have the video. Not sure I would have caught how moved Wesley was after the Rosie story in audio only. Love the ringer!!!
This video is the living embodiment of Grantland vs The Ringer. We miss you Wesley!
Wesley brings too much gay vibe to everything he does.
Not everything has to be through the lens of a gay dude, Wes.
He also just gets things wrong. The first time we see radio Raheem wasn’t the love/hate scene
I am 100% on board for this.
This film is so far ahead of its time, and sadly, still Spike's best film. It holds up as F*ck!
Sean baker is the king of casting regular people
Do the Right Thing was Martin Lawrence's first feature film role, but he had appeared in 22 episodes of the last season of What's Happening Now!! before this.
This is one of the few rewatchables that is worth 90 minutes of discussion.
IDK maybe it's because hip hop culture was a relatively new thing especially in film at the time but in hearing the critics you read it reminds of some of the hysteria over Elvis in the 1950s. Also fwiw Ran is my vote for best film of the 80's.
I clicked this so fast because after hearing it was like damn I need to see Wes dancin
Armond White actually gave Do the Right Thing a glowing review.
Beautiful on every level.
Mr. White was quoting Do the Right Thing.
I had the exact same reaction as Wesley upon hearing that Rosie Perez ice cube story. Fuck.
Wesley is right about Philadelphia having the strongest local news coverage. Action News is the best in the country.
Sean doing the Sam Jack impression is top 2
Damn so I just saw this in July 2020 and after George Floyd this hits so close to home
1:27:00 Im glad that somebody caught onto the Fact that "Da Mayor" and Mother Sister had a prior Relationship in the past and they were very likely Sexually Active. Which is why she is so Sour on him at that point in the film because he was likely Boning other Women and got Caught (And that he's a Drunken Loser)
Their last Scene together in the film is a way of the 2 of them "making up" in a sense
Put this on originally as just background noise and became completely engrossed in this conversation.
Sean is the 🐐 for saying what needed to be said about Pizza and terrible food culture in California. Thank you, good sir! ✊💯
TWO Time Pulitzer Prize winning Wesley Morris!
Perfect! Bill, more Wesley.
Wesley is 100% on Ruby Dee getting the Saul Rubinek Award.
Where in Philly, Wesley?
John Turturro is either Miller's Crossing or O Brother Where Art Thou?
Barton Fink?
@salvatoresultana4058 Not good enough.
The thing about wake up and apologize -- you can't really say that was stolen. It's just a cliched thing that people say.
I am commenting like a maniac on all these Rewatchables clips, but fuck it. I am volunteering to be on these podcasts. I could do it, and it would be great.

48:00 - Spike doesn’t get credit for the Sicilian Speech just because of one off-hand remark about “dark Italians.”
The casting of Rosie probably wasn't as happenstance as they suggest here. She'd been dancing like that for years of Soul Train, look it up on youtube. The routine is almost identical in parts.
Can you do Weekend at Bernie's please
We need this!
Weekend at Bernie's II. Toughest sell ever. "Remember the hit movie we had four years ago with the dead guy? How about a sequel with his putrefying corpse?"

Y’all remember the Donald trump line in the movie? It’s so subtle. The cops said it
No, what did they say?
@@williamroper5422 I tried to see if the scene was on UA-cam I can’t find it. It’s from a short scene when some police come in the pizza shop.

halfway through, and they haven't mentioned martin lawrence or samuel l jackson.
The funniest guy in the basketball shirsey heat check scene is the Brooklyn black guy rocking the Lakers shirsey angry at the Brooklyn white guy rocking the Celtics shirsey.
Enjoyable episode.
I'm going to be blunt. The more I hear Mr. Morris talk the more amazed I am he gets paid fro his opinions. He's so ill informed its kind of staggering.

Wesley just likes to hear himself talk. Dudes so pretentious and long winded
damnit Simmons u coulda been here for this!
Wasn't Turturro called THE SHEENIE in Miller's Crossing ....? = Bernie Bernbaum .
This is a fantastic movie. It is not perfect, but it is tremendous.
It's a 4 finger ring
You guys are fucking crazy if you think this movie tops raging bull as the best 80s film
They always talk about how much Black ppl make in order to say “why are you rabble rousing, when we paid you so much hush money.”
The absolute TRAVESTY committed forgetting THE Richard Edson as That Guy. He's Sal from Platoon and the smooth-talking garage attendant from Ferris Bueller. I mean...come ON
Wesley Morris is beaut.
I aint gonna get to the end
Simmons shows up for The Town but not for this?
He should not discuss anything important.
Did this movie take place in Boston?...
So Stupid the Dance Timeouts are off-screen WTF? Fennessey giggling his like a dork Instead he Didn't Do the Right Thing of giving the people what they want and calling out Morris. Yuck
🍕
Not a different movie with Robert De Niro in it at all.
Bernie Bernbaum
Come on, Wesley! It would have been Jack & Jill for you, not Mr. Softee.
and his pizza proclamation is dumb, along with him saying "pizza is holy to me" sound like some tumblr guy with a pizza tattoo lol
Two greats talking about one of favorite movies.
w/out Simmons, this is a bore. I just saw Beverly Hills Cop discussion and that grabbed my attention and that movie was way less thought provoking than "Do the Right Thing". This had potential for a good discussion but crashed.

BlacKkKlansman was a mess.
