A podcast episode you can't refuse! Listen as Oscar and Diggory discuss Hugh Grant's role in 90s sleeper hit Mickey Blue Eyes (Kelly Makin, 1999). Hugh stars as an art-house auctioneer named Michael Felgate, who finds himself getting in deeper and deeper with the Mafia after proposing to the daughter of a crime Kingpin. Your hosts discuss how Hugh Grant and then-girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley worked together to co-produce the film, compare the film to the other Hugh Grant classic that came out in the same year - Notting Hill - and dissect what is perhaps the funniest scene of Hugh Grant's whole career to date...
