Welcome to Highbrow Lowbrow, the show where our podcast hosts Steve Powell and Dan Slattery pit high art against low culture. 

In this episode, revenge is a dish best served cinematically as we look at two films where the lead protagonists get mad and then get even.

Steve’s choice is The Reckoning, in which Nicol Williamson puts his marriage, career and liberty on the line to find the man who killed his father.

Dan’s pick is Dirty Weekend, a Michael Winner revenge flick in which Lia Williams goes on a killing spree after waking up one day and deciding that she’d had enough.

Stop nursing that grudge, dear listener. Put that petty feud to one side. We’re getting serious about revenge and we take revenge very seriously.

Beware spoilers and enjoy the show...
