Spike Lee takes on Kurosawa’s High and Low with Highest 2 Lowest, and we’re here for the ride. In this episode, we break down how Lee reimagines the classic crime thriller through a modern lens—class, conscience, and a whole lot of Denzel. From Kurosawa’s cool precision to Lee’s bold Brooklyn energy, we explore what’s preserved, what’s flipped, and what hits different in 2025.

It’s a cinematic remix across cultures and decades—no hot takes, just deep cuts.
