In this week's podcast, Glenn and Daniel check out a rallying cry for the British working class with
Ken Loach's new film,
I, Daniel Blake, then check out a shriek of impending doom from
David Lowery,
A Ghost Story, a film in which a goofy game of supernatural dress-up is just the thin veil covering intense trepidation about the whole of human existence. Three points if you guess which film caused an actual panic attack
(56:50).
