Brad Garoon and Jake Ziegler are back with another episode of "Never Did It," as they transport you to 2015.

Building upon their earlier exploration of the year 2013, Brad and Jake continue their cinematic journey with "The Look of Silence." A powerful documentary and a follow-up to their previous episode's film, "The Act of Killing," "The Look of Silence" is directed by Joshua Oppenheimer.

As they delve into the film's introspective exploration of memory, truth, and reconciliation, the hosts provide insights into its significance within the broader context of Oppenheimer's work and its effect on other documentarians.

Shifting gears, Brad introduces Jake to "Legend," a crime thriller written and directed by Brian Helgeland. Set in the criminal underworld of 1960s London, the film delves into the true story of the notorious Kray twins, played by Tom Hardy in a remarkable dual performance. As Jake immerses himself in this gritty tale of organized crime and familial bonds, the hosts discuss the film's execution, Tom Hardy's dual performances, and his career as a whole.
