In the Fleapit
Each week, hilarious and bickering best friends Angus Roberts and Will Lawler share the films and tv shows they love and hate—going against the grain of critics and fans—as well as covering all things awards season each year. Asking themselves one main question: What deserves to be thrown into the fleapit, and what deserves to be taken out and given more praise? Also each week are mini-episodes all the way film recasting, quizzes, stories about famous Hollywood moments, and more.

35 - The God Blacklist Part II
•
Angus Roberts & Will Lawler
In this weeks episode, the boys cover two different, but in strange ways, similar stories of corruption and politics. Will takes us back to the 40s and 50s of Hollywood, where screenwriter Dalton Trumbo and nine other industry professionals—now dubbed 'The Hollywood Ten'—were charged and sentenced for refusing to testify about whether they were affiliated with the Communist party, resulting in the first major Hollywood Blacklist. Angus tackles what many consider to be one of the greatest films of all time, but one that he finds is overrated and snooze-worthy, 1974s 'The Godfather Part II.'
