Minute 8: Being Baldwin'd in the Ocho or In the 70s Misogyny was Kind of Like Having a Tie

The fellas praise the stylized naturalism of Mamet's dialogue... again. Bill doesn't buy that Matt wants to actually see slice of life represented. Bill apparently likes to wash his hands as far from the scene of the crime as he can. The fellas engage in a time honored debate: "Wyatt Earp" vs. "Tombstone," which only serves as a platform for Matt to fawn over Kilmer. Is Glenngarry truly the death of a salesman? The boys conduct an impromptu and imperfect screen writing course. Tarantino stood on Mamet's shoulders. Bill has to be convinced that Mamet is the Godfather of the unnaturally cool dialogue he claims to find unpalatable. This ep turns into a bit of an after school special about misogyny. Bill applauds Baldwin's steak knife schtick but criticizes Foley's work for a lack of foley-work. By the end of the episode the boys are ready to do the dutch.
