Mari and Jeff talk about 12 Years a Slave on this week's episode, the 2013 film and Oscar Best Picture winner. They chat about the individual performances, if the movie needed to be as graphic as it was, Steve McQueen, the role of religion in the film, and then they shut up and give perspective from black critics on the film. (Plus they reveal the story behind this podcast's intro AND Mari embarrasses herself talking about Timothee Chalamet yet again!)
