Description

This week, we're discussing the razor-sharp dialogue and side-splitting comedy of In the Loop (2009), one the greatest political satires. Here are footnotes for some of the stuff outside of the film that came up in the conversation:

A tiny clip from the unaired pilot of "Legally Mad"

The stateroom scene from the Marx Brothers' "A Night at the Opera"

The Roy Kent chant

Join us on Patreon to let us know what you thought of the film, on a scale of 1–10 Lemons Difficult.
