This week, it's Brendan's turn to present a Brit Pick... and he brings it in the form of the Joe Cornish film Attack the Block. The guys discuss various aspects like the authentic acting style of the leads and how the film humanizes them, the film's commentary on race and "bad neighbourhoods," John Boyega's stoic, raw star-making performance, the details of the creature special effects and their overall design and much more!
Next week: Brit Picks concludes with a discussion of the Powell and Pressburger joint "I Know Where I'm Going!" (thanks Suzy Cuthbert!)
