This is England


Listen Later

This week, the guys discuss Shane Meadows' epic tale of British divide in the early 1980s - This is England. After Brendan admits that he didn't know there were "good skinheads," they discuss the core romantic relationship and the possible inappropriate-ness of it all, the film's genuine educational value as a piece of art warning its audience about how people become radicalized, Stephen Graham's terrifying realistic performance and much more.

 

Next week: another slice of a common director on the show - will he dazzle us again?!
