24: "Winning Time" with Jadi Mwendo


Listen Later

All we do is win over here at the Insatiable Content Podcast. On this episode, I'm joined by Friend of the Pod, Jadi Mwendo, to discuss the erratic, unique, hyperbolic, and wildly entertaining HBO series "Winning Time" about the 1979-1980 Showtime Lakers. The show is a roller coaster ride that liberally mixes fiction and fact, along with a lot of sex and drugs. Oh yeah, and a little basketball. We cover:

  • The show's amazing casting, including John C. Reily's lecherous portrayal of Jerry Buss, the former owner of the Lakers
  • Whether the show's fictionalization of the team is worth it
  • Whether the show is actually good at portraying basketball
  • The outrage about their depictions of the people in the show, like Jerry West

And you get to hear Jadi take me to task for my cereal preferences. Listen now!
