Summary
David Mamet called his films "irrefutable proof of the afterlife." I call him the poet laureate of American capitalism. Matthew Wilder joins me to investigate the secret sauce of the comic genius who gave us The Great McGinty, Christmas in July, Sullivan's Travels, The Lady Eve, Miracle of Morgan's Creek, Hail the Conquering Hero, The Palm Beach Story, and Unfaithfully Yours.
