Academy Vs Audience Vs Miniver

It's 1942, America has joined the war in Europe, and so both Academy and Audience flock to the sweet, pastoral, hard-hitting propaganda picture Mrs. Miniver. The Miniver family navigates life and love and also the Blitz. Which of our hosts get caught up in it all? How do they react to the vignette-based narrative? Was 1942 too early to make a movie about a war that was very much still happening? Does the propaganda still hit, or do they spend entirely too much time on competitive rose breeding? In any case, three Mrs. Minivers enter, which will be left standing when the bombing ends? Listen to find out!
