Episode 78: PASSPORT TO PIMLICO (1949) [feat. Jason Statham]

Featuring special guest and Hollywood film star Jason Statham! Jason Statham (UK actor, former model, husband of Rosie Huntington-Whitely, and star of the later films in CRANK (2006), SNATCH (2000), THE TRANSPORTER (2002), the blockbuster Fast & Furious franchise), and more joins us to talk, appropriately, about a deeply British film! Without a stronger commitment to its premise (a Central London neighborhood grapples with its sudden independence from the British government that landlocks it), PASSPORT TO PIMLICO takes its central conceit a little too lightly to be a truly interesting critique, so in the absence of a grander message, we started to read a lot into it instead.

Closing music: "Passport to Pimlico” credits music from the eponymous film by Georges Auric.
