[Pod Yourself The Wire] 211: Bad Dreams, with Leah Carroll

“Neither of them can do a Baltimore accent.” -Leah Carroll.

Writer and pod yourself a favorite, Leah Carroll returns, bearing gifts, to talk to Matt & Vince about The Wire season two episode eleven, “Bad Dreams.”

In an act of preparation that would put the producer of this pod to shame, Leah dug up a clip from a Dominic West and Micheal K. Williams’ audio commentary on episode six of this season, in which you hear, in rapid succession, Dominic West compliment his own looks, then the two of them reverently assess Nicky’s girlfriends “beautiful knockers.” The death of the DVD commentary is the worst thing to happen to media in our lifetime.   This episode of The Wire, if you can even believe it, is a bit of a bummer. Frank is walking directly into his almost certain death to try to help his dumbass son Ziggy out of another mess, Omar is hoodwinked and oopsie shoots the wrong guy, and Daniels realizes Landsmen bungled his Sobotka connection. It’s almost like these guys don’t really care about solving problems and just want to not get yelled at, cash a check, and hang out at a bar with no wives.
