Reel Poppycock gets busy living, because the world is all too often getting busy dying. That's right, we take a deep dive into mass incarceration and the privatized prison-for-profit system on this episode covering the 1994 film "Shawshank Redemption."

Directed by Frank Darabont, and starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, listeners will find out why Ed thinks "Shawshank Redemption" may be the best movie ever made.

Get comfy for a nice, non-life length sentence of the sweet sounds of Reel Poppycock in your ear-holes, and think of what music you'd take with you to the hole, or solitary confinement for those not hip to prison lingo. Enjoy your freedom!
