Mike and Jenny kick off their 2017 miniseries with a discussion of Darkest Hour, one of the year's two WWII-related nominees, and the one with the most Gary Oldman. In this episode, they discuss the quality of light in the darkest hour, teen heartthrob Ben Mendelsohn, the character arc of Winston Churchill, and the "subtle" difference between a Churchill impression and an Oldman one. All this plus facts, fonts, hippies(?), and an excess of champagne.
