Four Favorites with Jack’s Facts: Dog Day, Mike Leigh, La La Land and the midway Top 25

Give us a cuddle, Maurice! Letterboxd head of platform content Jack Moulton, the man behind The Letterboxd Show’s “Jack’s Facts”, joins hosts Slim and Gemma for a chat about our favorites of the Top 25 films of 2022 so far and Jack’s four Letterboxd faves: Sidney Lumet’s Dog Day Afternoon, Mike Leigh’s Secrets and Lies, Matthieu Kassovitz’s La Haine, and the movie that did not win the 2017 Oscar for Best Picture, Damien Chazelle’s La La Land.

Plus: attractive sweaty Al Pacino, how lockdown helped Jack complete several film circles, long film runtimes, heist movies, what our hostage demands would be (fried chicken all the way), the healing power of a cup of tea, the “Mike Leigh Phase” of every British boy, can La Haine’s Hubert be our boyfriend, Amelie’s boyfriend’s directorial career, love across an ocean, queuing for a movie with a small bladder, musicals for people who don’t like musicals, why everyone should see Blinded by the Light, and could “It was fine” be the worst movie-critic burn ever? Here’s to the ones who dream!
