A BIGGER BOAT: LINCOLN *SPIELBERG FINALE*
For the last two years co-host Jack has insisted that LINCOLN is the worst movie ever made and Spielberg is the worst director of all time. What began as a joke, "let's do a Spielberg season just so we can make Jack watch Lincoln again, hur hur," slowly became the impetus for our strangest season yet. Here we are, the finale, where Jack watches Lincoln again, with a ton of Spielberg as pre-gaming the last three months.
Thomas read the Doris Kearns Goodwin book TEAM OF RIVALS, which is the loose inspiration for Tony, Pulitzer, and Emmy-winning legend Tony Kushner's screenplay, which Ken read (none of those awards were for Lincoln). We came into this hardcore prepared, y'all.
Will Jack reassess or is it still the worst movie ever made? How successful were Spielberg and Kushner in adapting Kearns' award-winning book? Will Jack think differently about Spielberg as a director after having had to watch his legitimate classics alongside his Always' and Hooks? What are Jack's final ranking of the Spielbergs he watched this season? Will Spielberg gift Jack a 1989 Mazda Miata for having made it to the finish line? So many questions. Just listen and find out, okay? It's all here.
