Description
Now I've heard of a Major Motion Picture...but a Mayor Motion Picture??? Now I'm being carted off to a hospital for having typed that!! Nah, just kidding. We're talking about one of those today: Harold Becker's 1996 not-John-Grisham city politics thriller CITY HALL, on which Paul Schrader was one of four credited writers! Your favorite Pauld Casty boys had a grand old time talking municipal procedure, Al Pacino, Danny Aiello, Donald Manes, David Dinkins, Rudy Giuliani, bongo clubs, and more. Plus, obviously: impressions.

Well, we've reached the end of our Paul Schrader retrospective - for a couple weeks until OH, CANADA comes out - and it's time to discuss our findings. What did we learn about Schrader? About film? About podcasting? About ourselves? Can we remember all the different ways we got sick and hurt...

As a little bonus, we talked some more MASTER GARDENER with Jake's old friend and professional New Orleans gardener Bob Martin! Lots of technical gardening chat, native NOLA plants, gardening movies, and some commiseration between friends of Jake that he very quickly shuts down.
Enjoy!
