'Erin Brockovich' (2000)

This week we get bogged down in the mire of a groundwater contamination scandal that blighted a small community in California. After a spate of comedy dramas and rom-coms, Julia Roberts' turn as a single mother, single-handedly taking a large corporation to task over their single-minded disregard for public health earned her a much-deserved Oscar.

Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!
