Diving deep into the neighbourhoods of Brooklyn we thought we'd take a look at the legendary filmography of director Spike Lee. Before he created such classics like Do the Right Thing, and worked with legendary actors like Samuel L Jackson, he grabbed his schools camera and filmed Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads (1983). Learn about the numbers game, a tale of old vs new, Spike Lee's many controversies and his feud with Quentin Tarantino. Bayden and Kyle discuss all of this and more, on this episode of First Film.
