This week it’s a double bill of Failsafe (1964) and 12 Angry Men (1957) showcasing the immense talent of director Sidney Lumet.  

The team discuss the lasting impact of Failsafe and ruminate how relevant this classic remains in the contemporary world. They compare it to 12 Angry Men, which whilst different in topic is similar in tone and tension. In lighter moments of the conversation there is some mirth about Rhys's quotes and what CineClub merchandise might look like….

Our presenters are Matthew, Billy, Bebe, and Rhys. The episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main.
