  4. The Luckiest Man in America

    JAN 18

    The Luckiest Man in America

    Very mixed feelings on this movie, which leads to an extended discussion of when a movie should tell the truth or change the story. In this case, the true story is fascinating (and we tell it) while the movie is…not so much. But some good acting with some great actors! This is a public episode.

  6. Host's Choice: Dead Man Walking

    Host's Choice: Dead Man Walking

    Tim Robbins’ second movie, a surprising jump in maturity and skill from his first film, Bob Roberts. We go in depth on the morality of killing a guilty person, the exact discussion this film intended to inspire. This is a public episode.

  8. Pertwee: Carry on Cowboy

    Pertwee: Carry on Cowboy

    We always like to end a season by watching a movie that the Doctor was in — so here we go with Carry on Cowboy (featuring a very different performance by Pertwee from his Doctor portrayal) — how does it compare to Blazing Saddles??? This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit betterangels1.substack.com
