What I've Learned From Film - Ep. 11 - The Help (Oscar Roundup)


We continue our Oscar Roundup series of podcasts by discussing the film The Help, starring Bryce Dallas-Howard, Emma Stone, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer. The film, based on a popular novel of the same name, was controversial when it first debuted last year due to it's take on pre-civil rights era maids in America. Does it do its subject matter justice? Or is it all just cotton candy fluff?

Joining me on this episode are special guests Frank Smith and Josh Beekman.
