MFL - Courtroom Movies: THE VERDICT and ANATOMY OF A MURDER

(CW/TW for this episode: discussion of sexual assault and rape culture) It's our day in court on Movies for Life as Michele and Brian discuss their favorite courtroom movies! First is the second Sidney Lumet film discussed on the show with Brian's pick of THE VERDICT from 1982, starring the incomparable Paul Newman. Then they get into what is arguably the best depiction of a trial on film with Michele's pick of Otto Preminger's 1959 masterpiece, ANATOMY OF A MURDER, starring Jimmy Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, and George C. Scott! (Again, content warning for this half of the episode - take care of yourselves.) Things maybe get a little heavy with this episode, but as always, we hope you enjoy the conversation, and thank you so much for all your support!
