Pod Casty For Me

Ep. 47: J. Edgar (2011)


Listen Later

Who better to cover a film about unrequited homoerotic lust so powerful it maybe destroyed US civil liberties forever than your two favorite co-hosts of Pod Casty For Me? That's right, it's just us guys this week covering J. EDGAR, Clint's 2011 biopic of FBI Director and anticommunist monster J. Edgar Hoover! We're going deep on this one, talking FBI history, gerontocracy, the film's depiction of Hoover's mysterious personal life, the prosthetics, how we think Clint feels about all this, and a lot more MLK talk than the film really gets into. Plus a lot more. Check it out or we'll know you're a fed!

Topics include: I, FRANKENSTEIN, oysters, Armie Hammer, Leonardo DiCaprio's accent, who everybody looks like, THE MATRIX, THE SOCIAL NETWORK, term limits, civil servant pathologies, Emma Goldman and a brief history of American anarchism, Naomi Watts, Jake goes on a weird tear about carpentry YouTubers, Dustin Lance Black's haircut circa 2011, MLK/FBI, and we take strong positions on such topics as "pigs," "loyalty," and "being tall."
