We're gonna recap it... we're gonna recap the Declaration of Independence.

Along the way we discuss the merits and pitfalls of implausibility, the secret gay love story that darest not speak its name, and the one-man FBI operation that is Harvey Keitel.

12 ANGRY MEN (1957)

Angry men?? What else is new!
That's an example of the pithy, topical comedy you can expect from the Bros, but don't worry -- there's PLENTY to joke, rage, mourn, and ponder about when discussing Sidney Lumet's feature film directorial debut, 12 ANGRY MEN! Along the way, we discuss the importance of rehearsal, the UTTER PERFECTION of the script, and, of course, the depressingly ever-present need for a story like this.
IF YOU SO CHOOSE, Alex would love to invite donations to her KICKSTARTER for her upcoming LA Fringe show! Thank you!
