12 Angry Men

"You've listened to a long and complex case, murder in the first degree. Premeditated murder is the most serious charge tried in our criminal courts. You've listened to the testimony, you've had the law read to you and interpreted as it applies in this case, it's now your duty to sit down and try to separate the facts from the fancy." With the judge's words ringing in our ears, we head into the courts this week to make Edwin watch the 1957 classic 12 Angry Men. Sidney Lumet's directing debut remains a foundation of the courtroom drama genre to this day, even though almost nothing is seen in an actual courtroom. So light up your cigarettes, fix the broken fan, keep your switchblade strapped, and join us for a boiling hot deliberation. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
