From the bowels of Morro Prison on Havana Bay, Alex and Judd dive deep into CUBA LIBRE, Elmore Leonard's masterful epic set at the height of tensions that led to The Spanish American War.

In Part Two, they get shot by snipers, concoct Elmore Bingo, and Alex shares his thoughts on the Coen Brothers' screenplay of Cuba Libre that, alas, never got made.
