Episode 67: Heroes & Heroines

In a special episode recorded at the Arisia convention this past January, Rosie returns to have a chat about the great cinematic heroines and heroes. We discuss the attributes we look for in a movie hero before running down our lists of our favorite good guys and gals, a group which transcends race, gender, and species. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and some minor issues with ambient noise due to the recording space (not to mention some loud weirdos from the room next door).

Episode 38: 12 Angry Men

It's time for Corinne, Polly, and Tim to discuss the facts of the case regarding Sidney Lumet's classic legal drama 12 Angry Men. We'll argue over the motivations of each of the jurors, examine Lumet's visual tricks for heightening the film's tension, and look back at how disgusting men's rooms were in the 1950s.
