Do the Right Thing 🍕

Happy Thursday!

Today’s movie is Do the Right Thing (1989)—available to rent for free on Prime Video and Apple TV for the rest of the month. This Brooklyn-set dramedy is what catapulted director Spike Lee from rising star to one of the most revered filmmakers in Hollywood. The movie was egregiously snubbed from most Oscar categories—though it did receive two nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay. Lee would finally win his first Oscar in 2018 for Best Adapted Screenplay for BlacKkKlansman.
