That's right, 10 episodes in...go us! And we're kicking off David Mamet Month in true FO Show'biz' fashion with a searing look at Mr. Mamet's expert send-up of Hollywood and filmmaking, State and Main—featuring a truly great ensemble cast, including Alec Baldwin, William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rebecca Pidgeon, David Paymer, Clark Gregg, Ricky Jay and Julia Stiles.
But before we get into the making of 'The Old Mill' we talk about what we watched this week. Dre watched what's become his favorite film of 2020 (so far), Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and Goodman did double duty with Edward Norton's Motherless Brooklyn and Buffaloed starring Zoey Deutch, or as he thinks it should be called, The Boss Bitch of Buffalo.
Also, the Podcast Movie Ombudsman is BACK! And we discuss The Rewatchables' episode of The Perfect Storm and whether George Clooney is really an A+ lister. Then Dre shares some thoughts on Boston accent snitches.
In this weeks' BOOM! (Based On Other Movies), Dre cooks up a Rivas family classic, arroz con pollo:
What's the movie? Bay-leaf in your guess...sabroso!
Last, join us for The Quote Parade, celebrating and identifying all the random quotes we did on the episode.
Coming up next week, join us for a double dose of Mamet with 1986's and 2014's About Last Night (based on Mamet's play, Sexual Perversity in Chicago).
