WE CUT HEADS: DA SWEET BLOOD OF JESUS
Spike Lee's Da Sweet Blood Of Jesus never got a fair chance in my opinion (one early bad review kind of sealed its fate). I personally enjoyed this movie so I always feel the urge to defend it any chance I get. Thankfully Spencer of at the We Cut Heads podcast was kind enough to have me back on to chat about this underrated gem.

I know I said I drained the well with the Maya Deren/ David Lynch comparisons but I think I opened up a new realm after watching a bunch of Deren's films recently...
Make sure to check out parts; one, two & three of my exploration between Deren & Lynch for the more obvious/well-known comparisons.
Enjoy...
The interiors in their respective films are damn near identical from the movement of the camera to the actual furniture in the rooms...

Lynch's various themes, "tricks" & editing techniques also seem to borrow from Deren's earlier work...

Mysterious villains are murdered in similar fashions in both movies...
