Film Director Joe Carnahan (The Grey, Narc, RIP -new movie starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon) and host Joshua Turek discuss a wide range of topics from the LA wildfires to never meeting your heroes. Joe brings a Noam Chomsky book and tells of why he can't read James Ellroy books anymore. They get into Trump and Biden and the U.S. imperial apparatus but also have a good time.
