Shattered Glass vs. Ordinary People, Featuring Tom Nissley

from Are You Mad at Me? A Shattered Glass Podcast · host Erica C. Barnett

Send a textThis month's special guest is Phinney Books owner, Jeopardy! champ, and All the President's Men superfan Tom Nissley, who witnessed the birth of our Shattered Glass obsession (and slept through a little of it.) Tom—who went to high school with Josh in Bethesda—has some theories, and they involve the movie Ordinary People, which we all watched this week (Tom dug it, Josh cried, and Erica rolled her eyes). Is Shattered Glass just a mashup between All the Presidents' Men and Ordinary People? Is Stephen Glass a more sympathetic character than we realized? And what does Hayden Christensen have to do with Henry Winkler in Night Shift?Listen to hear us discuss those theories and more... plus a shocking revelation at the 13:50 mark!Quotes: "What I'm going to do is this. I'm going to read to you a list of suspicious titles, one by one. If you raise an objection to a particular title, we'll fact-check it again in the hope  of removing it from the list. If you remain silent, we'll assume that piece is fabricated, either partially or entirely, and it will stay on.""You don't know how things go where I grew up, Caitlin. There are rules there. If your son's not a doctor or a lawyer, you keep your curtains closed.""You're writing for The New-fucking-Republic. Isn't that good enough?""Not in Highland Park.""I mean, if you can get Rosario Dawson in your movie..."Hosts: Josh Feit and Erica C. Barnett Edited by: Erica C. Barnett
