"What do you wanna do tonight?" Listen to Dan and Mike talk about Marty, of course! In this special episode dedicated to Jeffrey Tambor, Dan tells the story of how a phone call from the great actor led to this show in which the guys talk about Ernest Borgnine's 1955 performance as shedding light on just what an actor can do. They also talk about the film's economy, its use of "the right ninety minutes," and how it avoids being too clever. The Apartment, Taxi Driver, The Honeymooners, and a story by John Cheever all make an appearance. So tell Angie to take a hike, get in that phone booth, and give us a call!   Please subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on YouTube, Twitter and Letterboxd.
