Episode 1 - Doctor Zhivago (#27)
This podcast will cover the British Film Institute's Top 100 British Films of All-Time with each episode focusing on a randomly-selected film from the list. Your hosts, Brendan and Jason will dissect each movie, talk about its cultural significance, behind-the-scenes tidbits and deep dive into the movie itself to decide if its truly where it should be in history and more importantly... is it 'great'? In this debut episode of "For Screen and Country," the guys tackle the British film about the Russian Revolution with David Lean's Doctor Zhivago. They discuss how Lean was hated by basically everyone, the debate about the romance overshadowing the historical importance of the time period, Pasha's (Tom Courtenay) complete character transformation), Omar Sharif's incredible eye acting and much, much more. Plus: Brendan and Jason roll the dice to find out what movie they'll be covering next time. Full Episode
