This episode is called ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri’ and we are going to be discussing the films of the great actor and producer Frances McDormand. The film that gives us our title was released in 2017 and was written and directed by Martin McDonagh. It stars McDormand as grieving mother Midlred Hayes who rents the advertising space of the billboards of the title and emblazons them with the phrases ‘Raped Whilst Dying’, ‘And still no arrests’, ‘How come, Chief Willoughby?’. The film was a huge box office and critical success and won McDormand the second of her four Oscars, three of which are for acting and one for producing the 2020 film Nomadland.
Episode three is a tribute to actor/producer Frances McDormand.
