    Dancing in the Moonlight with Four Lions: Part 2

    In 2007, Chris Morris began writing a political satire about British-Muslim terrorists, a subject ripe to infuriate and offend people. The film he wrote became the 2010, Four Lions, which blew critics away at it's release due to it's well crafted comedy and the humanity of it's characters. Does it still hold up 12 years later though? Join us as we chat about the movies impact, and as we react to our first time watching the movie.
