Argo with Leo Garcia

This episode comes out all sorts of different for some reason (for one thing, I finally figured out how to optimize sound a little bit). Leo and I dive into the most recent winner featured so far on the podcast, Ben Affleck's "I'm going to direct myself being a hero" movie about one interesting side plot of the Iran Hostage Crisis. We dive into some hand-wringing about how you know the good side from the bad side when protests go wild, so that's heavy, but we also talk about jazz funerals and cordless telephones. The main takeaway was that the Academy gave itself 10 choices starting with this year and they somehow still made the wrong one. Sorry, Batman.
