Hello and welcome to sentimental garbage, the podcast where we talk about the culture we love,

the society sometimes makes us feel ashamed of.

My name is Caroline and called Simon Cowell because aliens got talent.

And she'd go out there herself as she weren't so profoundly stoned. It's Amna Maudine. You do sound like you've come into the podcast profoundly stone, but you're just a natural giggler. No, I'm such a giggler. Very excited giggler, yes. Thank you for having me. Thank you for bringing this film into my life. Something that's been on my watch list for so long. And it's like, it's always been like, not tonight, not tonight, not tonight, however. I guess because it's, to me, it's such a boy movie. And I always gravitate towards girl movies. But to finally like sit down with Attack the Block after all these years, living in London, living in South London, I immigrated to London the year this came out to finally watch it as like, you know, 14 years into being a South Londoner. It was such a treat.

I mean, it's a treat as a South Londoner, but it's a treat as a film because it's amazing. It's an

incredible film. It's such a gem of a film. And also, what a year to come to London. So much

happened. I know so in 2011 and it went over

my head I had no idea what was going on no it's such a treat of a film it's very close to my heart so

I've watched it when it came out with my brothers who I sound like they say a white girl but readers I'm

black but as they've got more of that east London I sound like, they say, a white girl, but readers, I'm black.

But as they've got more of that East London slang.

I think I came here as a child refugee and I was taught English by this really lovely teaching assistant.

So my accent kind of mimics her.

Whereas my brothers is like the council estate that we grew up in.

So they loved watching this film together because it was like... How many brothers do you have in? More than you say it? You have four older brothers. And they're all younger. But that obviously means that because you're... I have a sister as well, but like she's 10 years older than me and then I got my two brothers and just up from me, so I'm the baby of four like you, you do have a sort of another kind of boy dialect when you grow up with brothers in that way who are close to you in age. Yeah. And so I can understand why this movie would become like the dear movie of your household. Yes, yeah. It was just so special. I really remember it quite clearly. I was watching it together. and then the second time was the year afterwards. And it was the first date I had with my husband. So wait, so what was the context for the film? Were you guys in his room, in his bed. Oh, my God. I'm 19, he's 21. We've met at university. So 2011 was also like, do you remember the student movement? I don't know if that was so.

Yeah.

It was like, we were all going crazy because they were about to triple fees.

We kind of met at one of the big London protests.

And, you know, he's like lefty white guy wearing a kaffir.
