Episode 75: Glengarry Glen Ross


So are we actually talking about Glengarry Glen Ross, David Mamet's searing drama of capitalism, corruption, and closers, or are we just speaking about it? Listen as we examine how the Pulitzer prize-winning play was translated to film, discuss the atmosphere of toxic masculinity in the Premiere Properties office, and find a new mantra to live by... Always Be Caffeinated! Warning: Contains explicit language (it's a Mamet script!), spoilers, and 40% more Christopher Plummer.
