Our Lad & Haircut w/Nigel Morgan & George Mole

Season 1, Episode 18,   Sep 09, 2020, 08:06 PM

This week Nigel and George talk about the overturning of the Paramount Decree in the United States, a move that could lead to the big studios monopolising the space at large and small cinemas alike as well as threatening the smaller distributors and independent film.

Our duo also review two great British short films, Our Lad from director Rachna Suri and Haircut from director Koby Adom. Both tackle cultural challenges of contemporary Britain in very different ways with Our Lad delving into the conflict between being a Muslim and serving in the British armed forces in Afghanistan. Meanwhile Haircut focuses on community, unrealised ambitions and the past coming back to haunt you.
