Episode 43: Roma - This Better Be Good

What this episode covers

In the race to watch all of the Best Picture Academy Award contenders, this week Mike and Gerrit tackle Alfonso Cuarón's latest picture, "Roma." It's black-and-white, it's bleak, and it's deep - but is it good? Lead actress Yalitza Aparicio plays Cleo, the personal maid to a family in 1970's Mexico City. She was Oscar nominated for Best Actress, but did she deserve the nomination? Listen to Gerrit and Mike as they hash out a dialogue about black-and-white film, depressing dramas, racial tensions, goofy jokes and of course, Liam Neeson's latest headlines.
