In Week 3 of our Black Coming-of-Age in the 1990s series, we revisit Crooklyn, Spike Lee’s semi-autobiographical portrait of childhood in 1970s Brooklyn. Through sibling rivalry, gender dynamics, colorism, community life, and sudden maturity, the film captures how memory, family, and neighborhood shape identity long before adolescence fully arrives.
Episode 4 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, titled “Seven,” transforms Dunk’s tournament ambitions into a public trial of honor. What begins as fallout from striking a prince escalates into a Trial by Seven that tests loyalty, knighthood, and the cost of standing by your ideals.
