124 - 12 Angry Men

We begin our “Tribute to Ian” series with the oldest film of this selection, but maybe the most resonant for today’s society: Sidney Lumet’s “12 Angry Men”. On the episode, Adam is joined by his wife Melissa (co-host of the Below Freezing Podcast & heard on our “Singin’ in the Rain” episode) to discuss Henry Fonda’s enduring (yet somehow not Oscar nominated) performance, the violence & fragility of Lee J. Cobb’s Juror #3, and the wonderful direction/choreography of Sidney Lumet’s “theatrical” staging. All this and a joint recommendation for the “Fear Street” trilogy on Netflix is in store for you.
