[The Wire] 406: Margin of Error, with Whack Nicholson Oct 26, 2023

Show notes

He is like a white Obama, but I don’t mean that as a compliment.” -Whack Nicholson

On this week’s episode, Matt and Vince welcome former public school teacher, podcaster and co-host of the Western Kabuki podcast, Whack Nicholson. To talk about season four episode six of The Wire, “Margin of Error.”

It’s election day in Baltimore, and you know what that means, right? There’s a sale on heroin! Two for one special on redtops. Stock up while you can. Also Carcetti wins the Democratic primary, which essentially hands him the Mayor's office, and it makes him not want to be a fucky guy when his wife isn’t around. He better figure it out, as Herc saw a few episodes ago, Royce’s hog is a big one to fill.

Listen as Whack first learns that some dweeby teacher named Mr. Prezbo used to be a badass Punisher-ass motherfucker who blinded kids and killed cops, then confirms that school administrators are just like cops and only care about their damn clearances.

Bonus Interview: Killers Of The Flower Moon Author David Grann (from 2017) Oct 23, 2023

Show notes

As loyal Frotcast listeners may have already known, I interviewed David Grann, author of the best-selling book on which the new Martin Scorsese movie was based, back in 2017. We got deep into what the book meant, the characters involved, why he wanted to write it, what it means, and how he reported it. At the very least, it’s a nice little background/companion piece for the film (which is much different than the book, even if most of the facts are the same).

Here’s how I described the book in my review that I haven't finished writing:

Flower Moon the book is a lot of things, but mostly it’s the story of a genocide told through the structure of a true crime tale. Grann delivers a barn burner of a murder mystery about a greedy landowner, his cat’s-paw nephew, his nephew’s Osage wife, and the FBI agent who uncovers it all, before zooming out to reveal that it was all part of a larger-scale plan of dispossession and erasure in which virtually the entire state of Oklahoma was complicit.

Anyway, enjoy the interview, I certainly did.

[The Wire] 405: Alliances, with Lyall Behrens Oct 19, 2023

Show notes

“He [Norman] doesn’t like Carcetti but he’s still got a job to do, which I love.” -Lyall Behrens

You know our guest this week is a true Wire head because his favorite character is Carcett’s deputy campaign manager, Norman. Comedian Lyall Behrens joins Matt & Vince to break down The Wire season four episode five, “Alliances.”

This is a great episode for any Herc fans. First, we see him making phone calls for Royce’s campaign, because you know what they say, keep your friends close, and your mayors who you walked in while he was getting a blowie in his office closer because he can probably help your career. Then, Herc gets to provision a camera for police duty, which has always worked out really well for him.

This is also a great episode for any cold-blooded murder fans, because we see Chris kill a nice looking delivery woman in an attempt to set up Omar. Wow, men will conspire to commit murder and frame a street rival before they go to therapy. smdh.

[The Wire] 404: Refugees, with Kevin Kruse Oct 12, 2023

Show notes

“Are we to believe… Did Bunk and Freeman kill that guy?” -Kevin Kruse

This podcast, in which we splice clips of Wesley Willis’ “Rock and Roll Mcdonalds” into scenes from The Wire, is first and foremost an academic pursuit, so it’s crazy that this is our first time having a professor on the show. Today’s guest is Princeton History professor Kevin Kruse. He takes a break from forcing tomorrow’s future leaders to do gender for long enough to talk to Matt & Vince about The Wire season four episode four, “Refugees.”

Kima and Lester are reunited in the Homicide division of BPD, and like you would expect from police detectives who are serious about solving murders, the veteran investigators prank Kima like the older kids at summer camp had access to dead bodies.

On the other side of the thin blue line, Marlo meets a security guard who wants it to be one way, but it’s the other way. Matt has a lot of fun with this. If you don’t like it, well, that’s because you want it to be one way, but it’s the other way.

What’s your favorite catch phrase? Snoops “Yeerrrrrp,” or Clay Davis’ “Sheeeeiiiiit?” Tell us in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.

[The Wire] 403: Home Rooms, with Dan From The Internet Oct 05, 2023

Show notes

“It's a show about people and systems and ice cream and scissors and corner stores.” -Dan From The Internet

Bags of drugs are falling from the sky, Matt is all hopped up on DayQuil, and returning to the pod is host of the Audio Face and Power Report Podcasts, Dan From The Internet to talk to Matt & Vince about The Wire season four episode three, “Home Rooms.”

It’s the first day of class for Prezbo (but you can call him Mr. Pryzbylewski) and the teens are rowdy. There’s your garden-variety acting out, telling each other to shut the fuck up and whatnot, but he also has to deal with one of his students slashing another’s face with a damn box cutter. This is post 9/11. Who let this kid bring a box cutter into the classroom? She could have hijacked the class and flown it into a building.

Bunny’s new job is not as satisfying as he’d hoped. He has to kowtow to his hotel manager boss because the mope he wants to cuff “represents a national consortium of convention planners.” Convention planners have been above the law for too damn long. This is why I would vote for Carcetti.
