Oh dear. 

In this one expect lots of rants from Jacob about how it goes straight to the top (or bottom?) as Christopher desperately tries to get him to talk more about the movie and less about the CIA. 

Up Next: Serpico (1973)

Here we start learning about Lumet's particular image of New York City; populated by scheming politicians, cantankerous Ashkenazis, and epic libs.

Major points of discussion include: the inevitability of corruption, the state of exception, and whether or not this movie is a clam or a rock. 

Next up: The Deadly Affair (1967)

In this episode we, Jacob and Chris, introduce our exhaustive survey into the films of Sidney Lumet. We hope to find that because of Sidney Lumet's ambiguous status as an auteur we will illuminate something about our collective relationship between art and the artist.

After this introduction, we share our Golden Rules of discussion that we will attempt to have fidelity to when talking about Lumet's movies. Chris talks a bit too much about Eddington and Jacob talks a bit too much about Westerns.
