Ep 4.13 - The Long Good Friday (Harold and mobs)

Welcome to Easter's revenge 2!

Or more like 1.2 or "New Egginings"

Or something.

This film, besides being an excellent crime drama, turns out to be a great transition from Ireland to Easter.

Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren absolutely dominate in this tale of a London crime boss looking to expand into new territory, a new decade, a global economy but quickly finds he's not in as much control as he believed.

Could it be a allegory for late '70's England?

See for yourself. We consider The Long Good Friday a must-watch.
