About episode

We all know Spike Lee for Do The Right Thing and Malcolm X, but his breakout film was 1986's She's Gotta Have It. Three decades later, the director gave his career-launching movie an update in the form of a ten-part series on Netflix. While the 1986 movie featured an original score by his father, renowned bassist Bill Lee, the 2017 series has a playlist filled with pop, soul, jazz, and reggae -- each song selected by Spike himself. In Episode 3 of Showstopper, Lee reveals his deep connection to these tracks and how these musical choices shaped the narrative arc of the series.
