Discussion: Born on the Fourth of July and Do the Right Thing

Published: July 4, 2016, 4:42 p.m.

To celebrate the United States' 240th birthday we watched Oliver Stone's Vietnam War protest film (and biopic of activist Ron Kovic) BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, as well as Spike Lee's modern classic that meditates on race relations in this country, DO THE RIGHT THING. Has anything changed in the 25 years since these films' release? Will Rob change his mind on "Oscar Bait?" What does John Carter (of Mars) have to do with anything? Listen to our 'Murica-Sized episode to find out! Clips in this episode are owned by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Universal Pictures, Public Enemy, and the Huffington Post.
