We welcome first-time guest Kyle Flynn to continue our series “Mic on Fire,” covering the films of Denzel Washington, and dive deep into Spike Lee’s 1992 epic, MALCOLM X. We get into Denzel’s prep for the role, Spike’s fight to make it himself, how he blew through the studio’s budget to actually shoot in Egypt, Terence Blanchard’s score, and why this might be the most complete marriage of director, actor, and subject in movie history. Plus: our favorite scenes, the most iconic shots, and some outrage over the Oscar snubs.
