Get on the Bus

CORRECTION: In the discussion this week, we erroneously referred to Andre Braugher being gay. He was not, and we apologize for the mistake.

This week, James, Jerah, and Jon are covering Get on the Bus (1996), directed by Spike Lee, written by Reggie Rock Bythewood, starring De'aundre Bonds, Andre Braugher, Thomas Jefferson Byrd, Gabriel Casseus, Albert Hall, Hill Harper, Harry Lennix, Bernie Mac, Wendell Pierce, Roger Guenveur Smith, Isaiah Washington, Steve White, Ossie Davis, Charles S. Dutton, and Richard Belzer. Together, they discuss what Jerah encountered at the West Hollywood No Kings Protest, where Bernie Mac's character went in the film, Randy Quaid's uncredited appearance, Jerah attending the Million Man March as a kid, just how rough 2025 feels relative to the era the film depicts, loving talky movies, the film's continuing relevance today, and much, much more!
