"Motherfucker’s so cool when he sleeps sheep count him."

Heist review (right click, save as)

We begin Mamet March with this con picture staring Gene “the Hackman” Hackman. It’s also got Delroy Lindo (who hasn’t been in much recently which is a shame because he’s awesome). We also discuss some thematic issues that Mamet deals with in most of his stories. Usually something about underestimation of the “old guy” OR of the mark. Send emails: futilepodcast@gmail.com

musics:
Cannonball Adderly – Who Cares (take 5)
John Coltrane – But Not For Me

  1. this one (heist) was almost too cool …. mamet really seemed in love with his own dialog

  2. You know I have to admit I agree a little on that. Though, I much prefer too cool to bland. Which anonymous is this? I know that Zack the 2nd half of the futile trifecta sometimes posts this way and of course my Roadhouse obessed brother Seth. I’m just curious who’s listening?

  3. Yeah so that’s you then Zack? But you wanted to watch Heist. Well I’m about to watch House of Games now so we’ll get that one recorded here soon.

  4. Only when I don’t know who it is … Seth! I’m doing this podcast to connect with people (real stupid ’cause it’s the net).
