Episode 33: The Revelsant or Bumming Roley

The Mispronounced Item

This is a farrago. We try to have a serious chat about Netflix series Making a Murderer and the rise and rise of the true crime genre (mentions to this excellent critical response from the New Yorker, this NYT portrait of a special victims unit, and Leslie Jamison's essay on the West Memphis Three compiled in The Empathy Exams). But it starts to go off the rails when Nathan turns out to have really no opinions at all about The Revenant; and somehow, terribly, the section where we meant to pay tribute to David Bowie turns into a chat about the awful awful Krays film Legend, which turns into something basically unforgivable. Sorry!
