Description
Paul Schrader concludes his first set of Man In A Room films with 2007's THE WALKER, a bookend to AMERICAN GIGOLO that finds the lonely man working as a literal escort for society women in D.C. But will Carter Page III find meaning outside of managing a few political wives' secrets? Should Woody Harrelson be doing that voice? Is Jake so unceasingly distractible on this episode that it ends the podcast? You'll have to listen to find out!

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!
