About this episode

This episode explores the complexities and rumors surrounding the 2012 film Dredd, questioning the directorial credit and its cultural impact.

2012’s Dredd is a nexus of pop culture rumours, mysteries and intrigue: but are we asking the right question when we ask who actually directed it? If you wish this episode had been about the 1995 film, it wasn't because Jason Jenkins already wrote a much better breakdown of that breakdown than I ever could .
