Episode 10. David Mamet Month: State and Main

That's right, 10 episodes in...go us! And we're kicking off David
Mamet Month in true FO Show'biz' fashion with a searing look at
Mr. Mamet's expert send-up of Hollywood and filmmaking, State and
Main—featuring a truly great ensemble cast, including Alec
Baldwin, William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sarah Jessica
Parker, Rebecca Pidgeon, David Paymer, Clark Gregg, Ricky Jay and
Julia Stiles.

But before we get into the making of 'The Old Mill' we talk about
what we watched this week. Dre watched what's become his favorite
film of 2020 (so far), Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and Goodman
did double duty with Edward Norton's Motherless Brooklyn and
Buffaloed starring Zoey Deutch, or as he thinks it should be
called, The Boss Bitch of Buffalo.

Also, the Podcast Movie Ombudsman is BACK! And we discuss The
Rewatchables' episode of The Perfect Storm and whether George
Clooney is really an A+ lister. Then Dre shares some thoughts on
Boston accent snitches.

In this weeks' BOOM! (Based On Other Movies), Dre cooks up a
Rivas family classic, arroz con pollo:


2 cups (chicken) - The Stunt Man

3 tbsp (sofrito) - Wag the Dog

2 cups (short-grain rice) - Bowfinger

Spices - Apocalypse Now



What's the movie? Bay-leaf in your guess...sabroso!

Last, join us for The Quote Parade, celebrating and identifying
all the random quotes we did on the episode.

Coming up next week, join us for a double dose of Mamet
with 1986's and 2014's About Last
Night (based on Mamet's play, Sexual Perversity in
Chicago).
