Episode 64 - The Art Of The Possible

Randy wanted non-cynical works of art about politics (I know, right)!   Joseph picked David McCullough's non-fiction book 1776, about that year in the American Revolution.  Amy picked the HBO film All The Way, the LBJ biopic starring Bryan Cranston.

What We're Liking Lately

• Randy talked up BrainDead, sadly, not picked up for a second season but available on Amazon Prime.

• Randy also is a bgi fan of Difficult People, the Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner Hulu original.

• Amy is watching The Get Down on Netflix.

• Joseph was reading Robertson Davies The Deptford Trilogy.

• Joseph really enjoyed the Lili Tomlin and Julia Garner movie Grandma.

• Finally, Joseph was surprised to enjoy the Mark Waid-penned Archie.

Show Notes

• At one point we talked about why Canada never had a revolution against the UK.  This is a pretty good timeline of the whole process and how Canada technically became really independent as late as 1982.

• Amy and Randy mention the song The Battle Of New Orleans, relating to the War of 1812, which is a damn fine Johnny Horton.

• Enjoy LBJ ordering pants:

• The LBJ 1964 Democratic Convention Speech:

• The trailer for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets:

On the Next Show
