Part of what we miss about the cinema experience is having physical tickets to keep as mementoes, so we've made free print-at-home stubs for anyone joining us to download.
If you're joining us for #Da5Bloods, you can find the tickets on our website here:

#Da5Bloods starts with this speech from Muhammad Ali on why he refused to fight in Vietnam:
"My conscience won't let me shoot my brother...for big powerful America. And shoot them for what? They never called me n****r, they never lynched me".

The reviews of #Da5Bloods call it one of Spike Lee's best, "most complete" and "most powerful" films - "a new career peak".
There's also high praise for Delroy Lindo: "a career-best performance" and "almost rivals Denzel Washington in Malcolm X"

"Injustice is not just a product of the United States of America. We do it better than anybody else!"
We're really looking forward to watching Da 5 Bloods tomorrow with our movie club - join us at 7:15pm on IG Live before we all press play at 7:30pm
โI think anybody that sees this film knows that it was made with a purposeโ โย Spike Lee talks about his new film, Da 5 Bloods (out tomorrow!), on the What to Watch on Netflix podcast.
This week's TS Movie Club selection is #Da5Bloods - out on @NetflixUK the day we watch it (Friday 12th June). This @VanityFair interview with @SpikeLeeJoint sets it up brilliantly:

@DannyBilson Hi Danny - we're a UK-based online movie club, started in quarantine to build a community while we're isolated. We're hosting a live watch-along of Da 5 Bloods on Friday and were wondering if you'd be free any time this week to talk about the movie for our podcast?
@jovialjoshy @Tom_Jurassic Thank you so much for the kind words Joshua - we agree, Tom is not just a terrific source of knowledge on JP but also a wonderful person. We're equally delighted at having had the chance to speak to him!
Want to hear more about my thoughts on the original #JurassicPark?
Last month I was lucky enough to talk about why JP still stands the test of time on @TSMovieClub (follow them!!).

On Friday 12 June weโll be watching Spike Leeโs Da 5 Bloods - it was always our plan to pick this film on its release date, but it has even more relevance now. (4/4)
We've decided not to host our regular Friday watch-along tonight and will use the time to reflect, listen and learn.
As two white people, we've lived in and benefitted from an unfair system our entire lives and in not speaking out or acting enough before, we are complicit. (1/4)
We welcome any ideas and suggestions on how we can achieve long-term and significant action on this. Weโll be sharing more info in a newsletter later today, and will link to this on social platforms if you want to read and donโt subscribe. (3/4)
Iโm taking part in a pledge to bring fairness, inclusion and diversity of thought to the audio industry. Along with @BroccoliContent @FallingTreeProd @BoomShakaProd@weareunedited Join us and sign the pledge for change https://t.co/KJ60PSgjzC
