'Mo' Better Blues' (1990) Makes It Mo' Better
This week, Emilio, Julian, and Madeline continue their cycle about “Musicians on Film” with an oft-overlooked Spike Lee Joint, “Mo’ Better Blues” (1990). While this film may be quite a shift from “Do the Right Thing” only a year before, our hosts discuss commonalities (and possible shared universes?) between the two films and the director’s filmography at large. They discuss the film’s exploration of the personal and romantic lives of musicians, a portrayal these three may have a vested interest in. And it seems they may agree that “Mo’ Better Blues” gives us Denzel Washington at the very height of his sex appeal…ya dig?
