In this episode we revisit the path-breaking 1999 classic, Frank Darabont's 'The Green Mile'. Adapted from the Stephen King serial novel, the film details human compassion, the brutal confines of death row, and the intangible world of magical realism. We explore Darabont's adept portrayal of its metaphysical themes, drawing parallels with his prior work, 'The Shawshank Redemption.' We recapture Paul Edgecomb's fascinating encounter with enigmatic John Coffey portrayed by the inimitable Michael Clarke Duncan and immortalised by Tom Hanks. Don't miss this profound tale about justice, faith, love and redemption that made such impact both on cinema and the larger cultural consciousness. Expect your perspective on film and its cultural resonance to be forever altered. Listen, relax, and let the reel roll.
