Many Taints (w/ Blauergeist!)

System of Systems, at long last, is back. First things first, Ben AKA the Perpetual Self Optimizer is no longer the producer/co-host, and we want to thank him for all the great work done on this program.  Replacing him is none other than former guest Will Samson, who takes over production duties and second mic. Welcome him! In our first episode back, we have Ellroy Boys co-host and Apocalypse Confidential editor Blauergeist! specifically to take on the colossal disaster that is The Sopranos prequel film The Many Saints of Newark. Somehow, as bad as this film could be (cheesy as fuck casting, thin plot, aesthetically flat and gross) it's somehow so, so, so much worse. It's the kind of spinoff film that complicates the entire legacy of its source material. The great work of American pop art reduced to a shitty, faux edgy dirtbag leftist meme.
