Episode description

in RP143, Jack and Geraint review the 2019 thriller Feedback, starring actor, Lib Dem activist and prolific angry Twitter melt Eddie Marsan, who trailed it in a legendary Guardian interview from which we read extensively as "James O'Brien meets Die Hard". He plays an O'Brien-alike blustery talk radio shock jock arsehole obsessed with Brexit whose studio is besieged by terrorists. In equal measure we assess his cinematic oeuvre - from his collaborations with legendary auteur filmmakers like Mel Gibson and Woody Allen and filthy reds like Mike Leigh and Adam Mackay - and his passionate political crusade to stop Brexit, and also any chance of any vaguely humane policies being enacted in his beloved British homeland. Do we get Edpilled, swept up in the majesty of his intense, (late-)Pacino-esque thespianism? Sort of! Listen and find out. Also subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/reelpolitik
