Episode 175: Mike Leigh (feat. Patrick Ripoll & Regina Linn)

Our first remote cast in quite awhile but we had an incredible time talking over Skype about one of the all-time greatest British filmmakers, Mike Leigh. We are joined by returning guest Regina Linn who is also a very talented theater actor in their own right. The main reviews are Life is Sweet and Another Year but we also dive deep into his most acclaimed work, Naked. For What We Watched, there are discussions about Cameron Crowe, Six Feet Under, Tales From The Loop and Alex Garland’s DEVS. We all truly hope you are staying safe, strong and sheltered. Talk to you again in about a month! 00:00 - 13:43 - Patrick’s Announcement / Intro13:44 - 14:43 - What We Watched Song14:44 - 01:08:48 - What We Watched This Week01:08:49 - 01:09:51 - Director Song 01:09:52 - 01:55:14 - Mike Leigh / Life Is Sweet01:55:15 - 03:17:00 - Another Year / Naked / Others03:17:01 - 03:25:40 - Top 3 List / OutroLinks: Patrick’s Food Bank Fundraising Request Line Regina’s Essay On Secrets & Lies Jim’s New Podcast Obsession This is a public episode.
