Description
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Willy and Jacob dive right into discussing what is easily the most controversial season of "The Wire" with its' premiere episode, "More With Less." Among the many things covered are how Tom McCarthy may or may not have been shamed into making an oscar-winning movie about good journalists because he played such a bad one in "The Wire," whether or not Rhonda and Cedric would have recognized Chris Partlow, life imitating art with development and gentrification near Johns Hopkins, Carcetti finally showing his true colors as he plays politics with people's lives, Michael and Dukie's fractured home-life situation, and the real-life counterpart to the Fat-Face Rick scandal. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters, we are looking forward to discussing a lot more interesting themes throughout this final season.
