Welcome back dude. Many thanks, I really liked doing this one too. Hope you like the rest of it!

Second time patron (lapsed during the hiatus and wasn't in the right headspace when you returned) so glad to be back! Catching up with what I missed. I think this is my favorite ep so far. Listened while driving and had to pull over multiple times to take notes.

Many thanks 🙏🙏🙏

Finally got a chance to listen to it. You’re brilliant man and have put together a beautiful episode

That scene alone is worth the Youtube.

Brendan Garcia

Haha, settle in mate. It’s a LONG movie. Also note that that scene was deleted from the original release.

Inexplicably, I still haven't seen Nixon. I am going to watch it this week after reading your post.

Angleton also inspired the fictional/composite representation of Richard Helms in Oliver Stone’s Nixon (Director’s Cut). In the film, and historically, it’s Richard Helms, but he’s depicted in the film as a weird pervert who has an office full of orchids.

Excellent ep as always

I can't fathom it...feels like it's deliberately ambiguous tho, another dangling thread designed to drive you crazy.

Fuck dude, killer ep

How do you interpret the sedan? My impression was that the mechanic was originally supposed to be the scapegoat, but since he witnessed and reported the murder, they had to find another one quick. But it still doesn't seem to quite add up

this bumps; extremely grateful that your show covers less well-known stuff that other folk don’t really get into but is also materially grounded and not off-the-wall esoteric. a rare and bountiful middle-ground
