In this episode, we dive into the 1992 film "Glengarry Glen Ross," where words cut deeper than knives and every character is teetering on the edge of desperation. We examine David Mamet's screenplay, known for its biting dialogue and brutal honesty, and the toxic male archetypes it lays bare—from the washed-up Shelly Levene to the ruthlessly slick Ricky Roma.

We'll discuss the powerhouse performances that elevate this film into a masterclass of acting. Al Pacino’s Ricky Roma signals his early 90s comeback, and Andrew contends there’s a clear progression from Roma to Vincent Hannah in "Heat." Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris, and Kevin Spacey each bring a unique portrayal of men on the brink.

While two of us are enamored with the film’s ferocity and intense character dynamics, one of us remains less impressed, providing a dash of skepticism to the discussion.
