Say Hello to My Little Film: Episode 112 - Lion

Be prepared to cry, folks! On this week's episode of SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM, Ray recommends to Rob the 2016 biographical drama LION. Dev Patel (MONKEY MAN, THE GREEN KNIGHT) stars alongside Nicole Kidman (DESTROYER, THE BEGUILED) and David Wenham (LORD OF THE RINGS, ELVIS), as Saroo, a man who has found himself lost in life in more ways than one. As a child, Saroo followed his older brother Guddu on a tragic night to hopefully earn money for their family in impoverished India. When Saroo becomes separated from his brother by thousands of kilometers, he ultimately finds himself adopted by a family across the ocean in Australia. As an adult, he discovers he must reckon with his past and cull through his long-suppressed memories to find his way home.

Will this story of strength and perseverance steal Rob's heart? Or will the film's structure leave him scratching his head? Join us to find out! 

fighting other people's wars? Join us as we explore this idea when Rob recommends to Ray the Park Chan-Wook (OLDBOY, SNOWPIERCER) classic JOINT SECURITY AREA.  

When an incident in Korea's DMZ sees the death of two North Korean soldiers and differing stories from the survivors, a Neutral Nations Supervisory Commision special investigatior must get to the bottom of the event, which leads to some surprising truths. In our ever divided world, JSA is a story that shows how those divisions are built and can ultimately be torn down but asks the question, can they truly stay that way? 

Will this taut political thriller give Ray hope that humanity can come together? Or will the truth leave him feeling helpless in the face of insurmountable division? Tune in this week to find out!
