A new 'Spike Lee Joint' is on its way to Apple TV+ this summer! But first, "Highest 2 Lowest" starring Denzel Washington, Jeffrey Wright, A$AP Rocky and lfenesh Hadera will make its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 19—the same day "Do the Right Thing" made its debut in Cannes back in the 1980s. 

Is this a sign from the Universe that Spike has made another hit? You gotta listen to "More to the Story with Markette Sheppard" to find out! In this episode, you'll hear directly from the film director, courtesy of "7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony" and you'll also hear a preview of the brand spanking new trailer for the film, along with 70-year-old back story of the film's plot. 

This episode explores not just the film's layered narrative, but also invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences with success, integrity, and personal growth. Markette's authentic analysis provides fresh perspectives on these universal themes.
