Episode description

In this episode, we get personal as we discuss if any of us would be able to stand up to 11 angry jurors and hold our ground. Would we have the courage to stand alone, and would we be able to argue our case? 


Who would we have been in the juror room? Would we have changed our minds? Do we believe the accused is innocent? The answers may surprise you. 


We will also dive head first into how a film set almost exclusively in one room, with our protagonists sitting around a table, manages to be as powerful as it is, step out of its teleplay origins and become truly cinematic. 


Two of us are also fresh from viewing the 1954 original 1-hour teleplay and will dive into how they compare, how good this earlier version is, and even drag in the 1997 remake. 


Oh, and is the title at all honest? How many of these men are actually angry?
