Secrets & Lies (#40)

This week, your hosts start to round the bend on this list as they discuss Mike Leigh's award-winning directorial effort Secrets & Lies, a film that asks questions about motherhood, family and race... but the latter is surprisingly the least discussed. The guys also talk the terrific one-scene characters, Mike Leigh's writing style allowing for more accurate representation of people of colour, how dangerous it is to bottle all your feelings up and more!
 
The guys also draw next week's movie out of a hat! What will it be? Join us, won't you?
