How to Write Like Elmore Leonard
Elmore Leonard ‘did more with less than any crime writer I can think of’ J. Robert Lennon wrote in the latest issue of the LRB. Leonard was born in New Orleans in 1925 and by the time he died in 2013 had published over forty novels selling tens of millions of copies, many of which were made into films such as Jackie Brown and Get Shorty.

In this episode Lennon joins Tom to discuss t...

The Weekly Movie Throwdown Episode 007: Elmore Leonard Month continues with Burt Reynolds in Stick
Elmore Leonard month continues on the podcast this week with a sort of middle-of-the-road adaptation: Stick.

But while it is a fun ride, reshoots and sub-par editing make it more of a mess than a masterpiece.
