Movie & An Argument: James Bond and Abraham Lincoln Edition (11-9-12)

On this week's episode of A Movie & An Argument, With Alyssa Rosenberg & Asawin Suebsaeng, we discuss: 1. "Skyfall," the new James Bond movie, directed by Sam Mendes, with Daniel Craig reprising the lead role. 2. "Lincoln," directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th President of the United States. Each week, I (Mother Jones "movie guy" Asawin Suebsaeng) will be sitting down to chat with ThinkProgress critic Alyssa Rosenberg (who also does killer work at The Atlantic and Slate's "Double X"). 'll talk, argue, and laugh about the latest movies, television shows, and pop-cultural nonsense—with some politics thrown in just for the hell of it. Alyssa describes herself as being "equally devoted to the Star Wars expanded universe and Barbara Stanwyck, to Better Off Ted and Deadwood." I (everyone calls me Swin) am a devoted lover of low-brow dark humor, Yuengling, and movies with high body counts. I hope you enjoyed this episode, and tune in during the weeks to come. We'll be featuring guests on the program, and also taking listeners' questions, so feel free to Tweet them at me @swin24, and we'll see if we can get to them during a show. Thanks for listening!
