TV & Film
In this Spotlight compendium to their Layer Cake episode, the Mikes are talking British gangster films, both with and without an accent...just kidding....mostly... Mike Field and Mike Butler point out some awesome British gangster films that you should see and some that they want to see as well, while at the same time talking about what it is that makes a British gangster film different than their crime family brothers from across the pond. From the style of the films, to the the fact that there is almost a language of their own within the film. Many of these films also deal with different themes and have characters dealing with issues that might be slightly different than the usual crime film. They also tend to be a bit more fun and cheeky than their American gangster counterparts. So grab your concessions, find your seat and get read for https://my.captivate.fm/forgottencinemapodcast.com (Forgotten Cinema: Spotlight)!
