'Da 5 Bloods': A Spike Lee Historical Joint (Black History Stories) - EPISODE 114

Three Films and a Podcast

“After you've been in a war, you understand it never really ends."
It's Black History Month and we're celebrating by watching films that talk about the history of the African-American people, something we're calling our "Black History Stories" round. Our second entry for this round is Spike Lee's Oscar nominated film, "Da 5 Bloods". Four African-American vets battle the forces of man and nature when they return to Vietnam seeking the remains of their fallen squad leader and the gold fortune he helped them hide.
Is this one of the best Vietnam movies ever? How well did Spike Lee's in-your-face use of archival footage work for us? And does Chadwick Boseman steal the movie, even with his limited screen time? All of that, plus we put together our Vietnam Movies Rushmore Mountain!
