Jeff and Mike H. go back to the late 90’s to cover a movie about the late 70’s.  Spike Lee’s Summer of Sam dropped with a fair amount of controversy; it’s less a movie about a serial killer than a study on ignorance set against a background of blackouts, violence and murder in the City that Never Sleep.
