Episode 244: Episode 219: HUNGER (2008)

11/29/22 • 103 min

While a technical issue destroyed the previous episode, Andrew and Dave boldly return to discuss Hunger, the feature directorial debut of Steve McQueen!
Does one need to have a full understanding of the Troubles and the IRA in order to understand this historical prison drama? Just how stylistically confident is this film from a first time feature filmmaker? How the hell can a single static shot of 17 minutes in length be so engrossing? Tune in to find out!
Next Episode: The 2018 crime drama that nobody saw, and shame on all of us for that being the case.
