Ep. 184 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime Movie Time Presents “Summer of Sam”

June 18, 2023

East Coast Carnage wraps up the second half of another true crime pairing as the True Crime Movie Time Summer Film Festival continues its exploration of the Son of Sam killings. Spike Lee is one of our most skillful and accomplished filmmakers. He's also no stranger to controversy. But does his film SUMMER OF SAM inspire the wrong controversy and for all the wrong reasons? Forget David Berkworitz or the investigation into his hideous murders. This film uses its all-star cast and extensive running time to focus exclusively on the vigilantism and fear the Son of Sam killings inspired in the community and not the investigation. Does it work? Christopher and Eric have many opinions on the matter.
