Episode 11 • AFI #72

An infamous episode but an epic poster. The original is the Drew Struzan poster for the 10th anniversary of the film. There is a reason he is the best.

This week Paul & Amy tunnel through Frank Darabont’s prison allegory The Shawshank Redemption! They discuss the use of opera as a 90’s film signifier, learn why Shawshank was constantly played on TNT, and debate whether this is “the Bud Light of movies.” Plus: comedian and podcaster Duncan Trussell stops by to talk about Stephen King adaptations, and how prison films can be a metaphor for transcendence.
