Professor Tyler Smith makes his second appearance on I Do Movies Badly this year to discuss how he easily could have split his Mike Leigh recommendations into 2 episodes. We've only got time for 1 though, so we'll have to make do with a discussion on his approach to why he teaches some films over others in his classes, what it means for Leigh to be an Oscar-nominated writer despite such a heavy improvisational directing style, what it means to be objective vs. observational, and a little bit of fantasy film casting (who would Eddie Marsan play in your Harry Potter franchise?). Avoiding Leigh's more tightly controlled period pieces, Tyler recommends Naked (1993), Secrets & Lies (1996), and Happy-Go-Lucky (2008).
