13 - Attack The Block

Garrett and Dan sit down to chat about Joe Cornish's debut film as writer/director, Attack The Block with their first ever guest, Philadelphia comedian Pete Steele. Attack The Block is easily one of the most movie-movie movie-movie's we've watched, employing show don't tell, economy of script, character centric storytelling, and practical effects to tell a Spielberg influenced, coming of age story that is both humerous and action packed. It also uses its setting to touch on some more serious social economics, giving this fun, funny movie an underlying message that is worth unpacking and discussing.
