The Business of Film: Mickey 17, Marching Powder & Sing Sing

James Cameron-Wilson says that #1 Mickey 17, from Parasite's Bong Joon Ho, is a sci-fi film about replicated human beings in the vein of Terry Gilliam which seems terribly familiar. He found the lead irritating and thought it entirely humourless. #3 Marching Powder proved to James's surprise that he IS shockable after all. Another Nick Love-Danny Dyer collaboration about a coke addict who loves violence, it's a state-of-the-nation black comedy which is massively politically incorrect and offensive. Yet there's no denying it's well made and often witty. On Amazon Prime Sing Sing, thrice-Oscar-nominated, is about the power of theatre to heal. It is funny and deeply moving and James recommends it highly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
