The Gods Will Not Save You: The Wire Revisited
TV & Film:TV Reviews
Warning: Spoilers Ahead With Brandon's brutal killing hanging over Wallace's head, Willy and Jacob discuss the larger implications for his character as a whole and what it all means for the detail and their investigation that's being compromised by Bill Rawls. There is also a conversation about the real-life Ed Norris and the morally ambiguous implications of casting real-life historical figures in film and TV. Other topics include the rare use of non-diegetic music and elaborate tracking shots, connections to one of David Simon's other masterpieces, "The Corner," and how selfish McNulty really seems upon a closer look during this re-watch.
