[https://338canada.com/] We discussed the historic collapse of the Conservative Party’s electoral explanations, the negative coattails of MAGA and other parties associated with the transnational Right, the legacy of Justin Trudeau, the current state of polling as an art and science, and finally some points where the wisdom of Canadian constitutional governance may exceed that of its neighbor to the South.

We worked vaguely from this list [https://www.vulture.com/article/best-spy-movies-ranked.html] but were selective in our approach.

We talked through the modern history of bourbon (stretching back to Prohibition), the transformation of the bourbon industry in the 21st century, and the importance of bourbon to the Commonwealth of Kentucky. We then shifted to the tariff issue, which threatens to upend the ways in which the industry has structured itself over the last two decades. We concluded with some of Erin’s recommendations for underappreciated local bourbons. Give it a listen! Transcript is here.

We talked generalities (and made the point that this is not a True Crime Podcast), then got into the movies.We worked mostly off of this list, [https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-lists/gene-hackman-best-movies-1234794159/the-royal-tennenbaums-2001-2-1006794/] with these films discussed at any length: * Bonnie and Clyde * The French Connection * The Conversation * Young Frankenstein * Night Moves * Superman * Hoosiers * No Way Out * Mississippi Burning * Unforgiven * Crimson Tide * The Quick and the Dead * Get Shorty * Absolute Power * The Royal Tenenbaums Transcript here.

I heartily recommend the book, which for the most part takes a film-by-film approach to Malick’s career. We weren’t able to get nearly as far as we would have liked, but we did discuss Malick’s early life (which is absolutely fascinating), Badlands, Days of Heaven, the “Long Gap,” and bits and pieces of Thin Red Line, Tree of Life, and the New World. Give it a listen, and take a look at the book! Transcript is here.
