William H.Macy loses to three card monte in “Edmond”. I watched it years ago cuz it’s directed by Stuart Gordon. Truly miserable film.
I fucking love the James bond episodes so much. It's a treat hearing talk of another 😭😭😭
Number of times someone said "period." this episode: 5*.
The word "period" was used in a normal sentence once, raising the total count to 6.
I think Mamet: the Musical would make for a great writing collaboration between Hesse and Charles
“He’s dead as disco, by which I mean he’s alive and well” - love this turn of phrase lmao
Hesse deni, more like hesse da poet
idk where Mamet was at politically at the time but I don't think that's a fair description of Homicide. It's about a guy getting roped into zionism if anything.
Ageee. If anything the tone is that the creepy zionists have exploited and conned this guy into committing crimes and ruining his own life.
When you play the house of games, you win or you 🎲
The book sounds really reminiscent of You Can't Win, by Jack Black (not that one)
We have a PDF of that book but I'm not sure whether any of us have read it yet
