Letterboxd 250: 12 Angry Men (1957)


Listen Later

This week, get ready for a cinematic feast as Marley welcomes back Vikash, host of the Cinema Pursuit podcast, for a very special Thanksgiving episode!

They continue their deep dive into the Letterboxd Top 250 Narrative Films series with a discussion of Sidney Lumet's powerful 1957 directorial debut, 12 Angry Men. They will break down the courtroom classic, from the incredible ensemble cast to the timeless themes of justice, prejudice, and the burden of reasonable doubt.

But first, Marley and Vikash are airing their "Reel Beef"! They are dedicating a new segment to their most frustrating cinematic grievances, starting with a passionate rant about the appalling lack of theater etiquette they have been seeing lately. Put down your phone, seriously.

Finally, they wrap things up with a quick round of "Last Four Watched," sharing the latest movies that have been spinning in their letterboxes.

Settle in after your turkey dinner for a lively, thoughtful, and spirited discussion!
