This week, the great Morgan Garrity joins us to talk the second season of HBO's True Detective, Colin's first serious foray into American television and the continuation of his hot comeback summer of 2015. Playing one of four leads in the highly anticipated series, centering on a group of adrift cops stumbling their way through uncovering a conspiracy in a small California town, we get to see Farrell dip into an old bag of tricks as he attempts to grab onto the redemption narrative that had been so central to Matthew McConaughey in the first season. Did it work? We talk about it, along with its belabored by design narrative, the somewhat uncomfortable gender politics of both this and season 1, Vince Vaughn trying to reinvent himself as a serious actor, the failed Taylor Kitsch movie star run, and some wildly inaccurate, now months old speculation on both season 4 and this year's Oscar nominations. But the three of us are mostly here to do one thing, and that's fangirl over Rachel McAdams. There's truth that lives and truth that dies, we don't know which so never mind. Hosted on Acast.
