Jake Gyllenhaal is LA’s most dangerous freelancer in Nightcrawler, a movie about a crime-scene videographer who drives around at night killing some people and offering others unpaid internships. You gotta respect the hustle. Tara and Jacob discuss the declining ethics of broadcast news companies, the career of famous New York photojournalist Weegee, and our favourite assorted Batmen, Spider-Men and Jokers.
