In his review of The Deer Hunter, Roger Ebert stated that Russian roulette “is the organizing symbol of the film: Anything you can believe about the game, about its deliberately random violence, about how it touches the sanity of men forced to play it, will apply to [podcasting] as a whole.” Ebert touched on a point that Will and Jimmy are finally prepared to flesh out: that you’re only truly alive when dancing on the edge of a razor, staring down the barrel of a gun that may seize your life from you whenever it pleaseth, and that the stakes can only go so high before something, or someone, must come crashing down, and that this is the podcast that will test the will of Man Himself. During a game of Russian roulette, the co-hosts also review live theatre they’ve recently seen, including The Seagull, Reprise, and The Golden Apple. Listen to Episode 140
