"On this week's show, Steve, Dana, and Julia pull up proverbially barstools at Sardi's to discuss Richard Linklater's latest film Blue Moon, which is about one night in the life of Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart. As played by a transformed Ethan Hawke, Hart is witty, needy, and totally captivating. Next, they travel Down Cemetery Road by way of a conversation about the new conspiracy series starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson based on a novel by Mick Heron of Slow Horses fame."
"Finally, they turn to a piece of real estate that may forever live in infamy as "The Pussy Palace" thanks to Lily Allen's brutally honest and stunningly well-crafted album West End Girl. On an exclusive bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, the hosts take up the issue of biographical pictures-aka biopics- and Slate's recent package Portrait Mode about the ubiquitous film genre."
