Spike Lee is back on the podcast after a three year absence following our very first episode ever on his controversial satire "Bamboozled." Lee was riding a near-unanimous wave of critical praise in the early 90's following his mainstream breakthrough, "Do the Right Thing." But in 1996, Lee had his first real flop with the Suzan-Lori Parks penned comedy "Girl 6." Telling the story of a struggling actress turned phone sex operator, Lee's episodic comedy is headlined by a fantastic Theresa Randle performance, and chalk-full of cameos from John Turturro, Debi Mazar, Naomi Campbell, Madonna and most famously, Quentin Tarantino.
Actress Mariko Enkoji-Busch joins us to break down Lee's first critical misfire, as well as the thin line between acting and phone sex work, that famous Prince soundtrack, and of course the infamous beef between Lee and Tarantino.
You can find Mariko's hand-made jewelry at EMBLM and follow her on Instagram @emoscience.
