broadcast news (1987) / real life (1979)

finally, friend of the pod shawn glinis ( @MrGlinis on twitter) joins us on our journey toward what murielle joudet called "une touché brooksienne". perhaps the most well-regarded films by both jim & al, this episode is stuffed to the brim with the good stuff. clips, emails, and movies too.

discussed on an over-stuffed malcolm in the middle: richard brody's involvement in the QAnon universe, zombi 2, rebels of the neon god, we are your friends (again), sergio martino, the shootist, & the magnificent ambersons.
