Description
his week on the podcast, comedian and podcaster Josh Gondelman (author of Nice Try: Stories of Best Intentions and Mixed Results) hops in the passenger’s seat for a wild night of good-to-great cinema with our two boys!
First up is A Civil Action, the schmaltzy-but-scintillating Steven Zaillian legal drama starring John Travolta as a sleazy personal injury lawyer drawn to the allure of justice, surrounded by a murderer’s row of ‘90s character guys (William H. Macy, Tony Shalhoub, Robert Duvall, the list goes on).
Then, we chug a Red Bull and pull an all-nighter for Martin Scorsese’s criminally-underrated Bringing Out the Dead, a Paul Schrader-scripted descent into the heart of darkness for an exhausted EMT (Nic Cage) over three crazy nights. The perfect Easter watch!
