This week, the guys talk all about a Mike Leigh epic with his tale of Gilbert & Sullivan conceiving of their famous play The Mikado. Yes, that's right... it's time to talk all about Topsy Turvy. The guys talk about Leigh's use of artistic license with the real people portrayed in the film, the troubling aspects of the central play that don't play out so well in 2022, the dark aspects of Victorian society, the "new technology" introduced in the story and much more.

Next week: the final entry in a MAJOR franchise!
