Brit Picks: Happy-Go-Lucky

DISCLAIMER: There was a bit of an audio malfunction this week so Jason sounds like he's in another room or very far away. Rest assured, it will be normal going forward after this week's episode. The audio is still fairly clear.
 
Brendan completely changes the tone on this week's show when he fights for the inclusion of Mike Leigh's uplifting comedy-drama Happy-Go-Lucky. In a film where the strength of the entire thing really rests on the main character, can Sally Hawkins pull it off? Will Jason agree with Brendan on the film? The guys also discuss Scott being an incel, the nerve of the film to never really go down too dark a path, Mike Leigh's complete dismissal at the BAFTAs and much, much more. 
 
Next week: A very special off-brand Christmas episode as Brendan and Jason talk about 1951's Scrooge starring Alastair Sim.
