Demoralisation in Real Time: How 12 Angry Men (1957) tricks you into feeling good about bad choices

Sidney Lumet's 12 Angry Men (1957) is a well loved, highly regarded film. It's praised for its compassion and intelligence, as it uses argument and deduction to decide a controversial court case. However, on even brief examination, this film is dishonest and its arguments are fallacious. I cover the bad arguments used by Juror 8 and how they lead to a bad conclusion. 12 Angry Men can be called clever, but devious might be more appropriate. Apologies for the weird frame rate on my commentary - I adjusted some settings when filming and missed the fps drop.
