Episode Synopsis

Send us a textDANNY DAY-LEWIS AND THE NEWS     Pt. Two: Russell Crowe was still a year from being a worldwide superstar starring as Maximus in Gladiator when he puffed up and got gray hair for The Insider (1999). It's about tobacco and old-world journalism (based on an epic piece in Vanity Fair) without a mention of clicks, blogs or website banners. One of Mann's most critically praised film with his most Oscar noms. Al Pacino plays Johnny 60-Minutes trying to get Crowe (as Johnny Tobacco) to, well, crow about big tobacco in what would be a watershed monent in America after a lot of hemming and hawing about the truth and corproate timidity/complicity. Crowe wears a convincing wig, by the way, it ain't real.   Christopher Plummer swoops in and steals the show as Mike Wallce, grinning a lot like Timothy Dalton in Hot Fuzz, weirdly. Big time disagreement on this one, folks. Again, a fight almost ensues.  Theme Song by: WEIRD A.I.
