12 Angry Men (1957) | Ep. 125

Twelve men. One room. Zero air conditioning. John, Westy, and Matt dive into Sidney Lumet's classic about a jury deliberating a murder case in sweltering New York heat. We explore how a first-time director turned a single location into one of cinema's most gripping courtroom dramas. The behind the scenes story, big opinions on why it works, and a laugh or two as we go. From Henry Fonda's moral crusader to that legendary knife scene. How do you make 96 minutes in one room absolutely riveting? We've got the verdict.
