Summary

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Our 2011 retrospective continues with Meryl Streep's third Oscar-winning role in Phyllida Lloyd's "The Iron Lady" starring Meryl Streep, Jim Broadbent, Olivia Colman, Alexandra Roach & Harry Lloyd. A biopic on one of Britain's most controversial politicians, the film gave Lauren LaMagna, Meredith Loftus, Isaiah Washington, and me a chance to revisit or, in some cases, watch for the first time a film that has garnered just as mixed of a reputation as the infamous British Prime Minister it's based on. Tune in to hear what we thought of the story, Streep's performance, the makeup, editing, its awards run, and more. Thank you for all your support, and enjoy!
