In 1995, Spike Lee released Clockers, a true crime look at early 90s Brooklyn post crack epidemic, into theaters across America three years out from the LA Riots. Clockers pulls no punches with it's depiction of police brutality, the effects of crack in inner city neighborhoods and the harsh realities of street life for black youths in the United States. Dropping on September 15th, 1995, Clockers got buried under steep competition and ended up as lines of chalk on the side of the road.


On the inaugural episode of BOMBED!, Liam is joined by Da Boyz (Eric and Emeka) to discuss one of Spike Lee's most underrated feature films. Hitmen with AIDs, crack cocaine, racist police and a surprise Christopher Moltisanti appearance, it's Clockers this week on BOMBED!
