Welcome, loyal listeners, to 2012! On Alcohollywood, we revisit a film classic – Sidmey Lumet’s 1957 film 12 Angry Men! Learn about the finer points of 1950s racism, the judicial system, and personal prejudice, all while sweating out the hottest day in New York. Henry Fonda leads a fantastic cast, including Piglet, A Robot, Diet Don Draper and young Grandpa from Problem Child!
