Categorías:
Inspired by Martin McDonagh’s new pitch-black comedy THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI, we look back at another playwright-driven film about redemption set in a small town populated by a colorful ensemble: David Mamet’s 2000 comedy STATE AND MAIN. How does the sex scandal at the center of Mamet's film look in a post-Weinstein 2017? What are we to make of the film’s cynicism toward Hollywood and those who populate it? And just what is the deal with that running matzo gag? We discuss all that and more, plus dig into some excellent feedback from recent episodes. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about STATE AND MAIN, THREE BILLBOARDS, or both by sending an email to [email protected], or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730. **Show Notes** Outro music: “The Song Of The Old Mill” by Patti Lupone Articles cited: • “David Mamet’s State And Main Engineers A Perfect Punchline,” by Mike D’Angelo (The AV Club) • William H.
