The New Haven Nose Doesn't Want to Talk About Brangelexit

Open Road Films, LLC
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Edward Snowden in Oliver Stone's "Snowden"

The biggest surprise about Oliver Stone's Snowden is probably how controversial it isn't. Which isn't to say that it isn't somewhat controversial -- anything about Edward Snowden is bound to be somewhat controversial. But for an Oliver Stone conspiracy thriller, The Nose finds Snowden to be pretty tame.

And, while we don't want to talk about it, we will. Angelina Jolie is divorcing Brad Pitt. It's not the sort of thing you hear covered very deeply on public radio. But. People care. And, so, uhh. Why?

And we'll probably get into one or two other topics. Some candidates:

GUESTS:

  • Tom Breen - Film critic for the New Haven Independent
  • Lucy Gellman - Station manager at WNHH Community Radio
  • Mercy Quaye - Director of communications for New Haven Public Schools

Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Colin McEnroe, Greg Hill, and Chion Wolf contributed to this show.
