The Crying Game

Ryan is slowly realizing that we cover plenty of films he enjoys and rates quite highly. Continuing with that streak, we look at Neil Jordan's THE CRYING GAME, starring Stephen Rea, Jay Davison, Miranda Richardson and Forest Whitaker. This episode is filled with some true revelations, as you listen to a man in real-time that "Rea" is pronounced "Ray". He always thought it was pronounced "Ree-a". We know that The Crying Game has problems, especially considering the vomit scene, which has caused issues for the trans world since it came out. There's a good documentary that highlights this called Disclosure (2020) that's streaming on Netflix. Unfortuntely, we watched it after recording, so we didn't get to touch on it as much as we would have liked.Overall, the truly important question really is: who is the winner of The Crying Game? Who, out of your loved ones cries the most? Play it at home and let us know!
