Beasts of No Nation

This week, the guys check out the first Netflix Original film (back when they had more consistency in terms of quality), Beasts of No Nation. Why did Fukunaga choose to use a fictional (but realistic) war as the backdrop? What steps did Idris Elba take to become this monstrous evil character? What the heck is brown-brown? Plus: the ambiguous conclusion is debated!
 
Next week: off the list and some alternate history!
