Ep 4.18 - The Crying Game [Z's bday May #1]

May Day, May Day - It's Z's birthday Month!
And to kick it off we are bringing you the film you've been dying for us to talk about since at least March: The Crying Game.

Neil Jordan's most infamous film (at least in the States) has a lot more going on than a genital surprise. In some ways, it's almost like a synthesis of Mona Lisa (1986) and The Long Good Friday (1981). Or at least, all three movies will heretofore always be conflated in Keith's brain...

Happy outdoor f*cking!
