## Resource

Episode 136 - Pack your bags, we are headed to the Soviet Union under the rule of Joseph Stalin. This week we watch and discuss The Death of Stalin (2017), a dark comedy about the death of Stalin (it's not just a clever name) and the ensuing struggle for power amongst his underlings. DISCLAIMER: This episode we had some technical issues due to internet issues. As result there may be some jumps in conversation and points where the conversation does not synch up well with some us talking over each other. We apologize for this but wanted to put it out anyway in the best form we could. SO enjoy the best you can. Next week we watch and discuss Frost/Nixon (2008) email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com
