This week we discuss the 2017 British biographical war drama film Darkest Hour about Winston Churchill in his early days as Prime Minister of the UK during the second world war depicting his refusal to seek a peace treaty with Nazi Germany amid their advance into Western Europe.
Starring Gary Oldman as Churchill with Kristen Scott Thomas, Lily James and Ben Mendelsohn.
Neither of the boys had seen this one and they really enjoyed it, realising that this is an important historical movie.
Gary Oldman was outstanding as Winston and deservedly won the best actor Oscar.
The boys discuss whether Churchill deserved to be called "the greatest leader of all time".
This movie is a powerful and important watch. The Scotsman loves doing his accents - and this one is no different. He tries to impersonate Churchill at every given opportunity.
Another serious and interesting conversation on one of the most influential leaders of our time.
