Zach welcomes aboard podcaster & educator Michael Boyce (Geek4 Podcast) onto the program for a historical analysis of the Battle of Ballard's Wharf as they unpack Charles Crichton's 1947 triumph for Ealing Studio's , HUE & CRY!
Once you hear the words "Operation Seagull", prepare to join the duo on the Blood & Thunder Boys battleground where they unpack the origins of Ealing Studio, learn from how the creative team at Ealing were able to conjure such a fantastical story, marvel at the stock character actors used in unique ways, ponder over how the post-war conditions of Britain lend to the film's aesthetics as well as its script, and finally settle upon the ways Hue & Cry would shape the world of Ealing, Comedy, & the medium of film at large.
PLUS: Is Joe Kirby a murderer at the end of the film?
