Why Amy Schumer decided to devote an entire episode to parodying 12 Angry Men
“I’ve always loved the movie,” Schumer says of tonight’s star-studded and very ambitious Inside Amy Schumer episode. She adds: “The idea of women’s images being judged and deliberated on is not a new theme for the show, but it’s not something that’s changed much. It’s an ever-constant theme for every female artist that I know. Just that word, ‘deliberation,’ what’s the ultimate example of that? And it’s a jury, and ’12 Angry Men’ is the quintessential jury movie. So I thought, ‘What if I rewrote it, and we used incredible actors, and did a shot-for-shot recreation?'” PLUS: Inside Amy Schumer “has always had feminist streaks; now it’s letting the roots grow out.”
