12 Angry Men is an undisputed classic Hollywood film, about 12 men who must, sometimes angrily, decide the fate of a young man on trial for his father's murder. But what about its political implications? As Jordan sits down with his good friend Alexei Kondrackyj, they discuss it as a rebuke to McCarthyism, an exceptionally well-crafted example of the character sketch and group dynamics, and just a good ol' fashioned mid-century liberal wet dream.Listen as we discuss the emptiness of the 1950s adman, the film's implausible resemblance to Die Hard, whether the film could still be made today, and whether or not the kid actually did it.
