Welcome to Season 3 of Snubs & Dubs! This season we are covering the 74th Academy Awards, featuring the films of 2001.

For Episode 11, we are talking about Marc Forster's Monster's Ball. Hank (Billy Bob Thornton), an embittered racist prison guard working on death row, begins an unlikely, emotionally charged sexual relationship with Leticia (Halle Berry), a Black woman and wife of a man sentenced to death. The affair begins just after Hank oversees the capital punishment of Leticia's husband (Diddy).
