Modern movies don’t get much better than Tony Gilroy’s “Michael Clayton.” Alex and Nick discuss the film’s perfectly constructed screenplay, ‘70s paranoid thrillers, George Clooney’s best work, exploding Ford Pintos, manic depression, meeting Denis O’Hare, Tilda Swinton, Sydney Pollack, ingenious editing, and so much more.
This episode is in memory of the great actor, Tom Wilkinson, who passed away on Dec. 30, 2023. His role as Arthur Edens in this film will live forever.
