For the record, it is profoundly fucked-up that Do The Right Thing is unavailable for streaming in the U.S. I don’t know what bottomless licensing chasm it’s fallen into, but few films speak to the summer of 2020 with greater clarity and nuance than Spike Lee’s vision of the summer of 1989.

It’s worth the $4 to rent it from Apple or Google, but it’s an important film that should be as accessible as possible.
