On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) ask how we wound up in a future in which people pull out their cell phone cameras to tape Chipotle’s burrito artisans in order to get a little extra rice and beans. Is the burrito panopticon the future we signed up for? And then they review The Last Stop in Yuma County, Francis Galluppi’s shockingly great debut noir. It’s on VOD now, they all hope you check it out. Make sure to swing by Bulwark+ Friday for our bonus chat on nepo babies. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!
Putting a camera in somebody’s face without permission is always wrong. Especially if you are trying to “catch” them doing something.
It’s as uncomfortable when some bicyclist cuts into traffic and then takes a picture of the car and driver as if they did something wrong.
I thought I was getting "The Petrified Forest" from YUMA COUNTY but it's a bit more like "Psycho" if Marion Crane turned out to be Norman Bates.
Also: Jim Cummings' weirdo energy is always wonderful.
100% my favorite actor right now, particularly in the indie space.
