Ep. 84 - The Spanish Prisoner (1997)

Waxing the Porpoise

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again dive deep into the murky waters of cinema and surface with insights sharper than a dorsal fin as we cover The Spanish Prisoner from 1997 - a rather interesting PG entry in David Mamet's filmography that unfolds like a meticulously orchestrated symphony that'll keep you guessing, but does it hit the right notes?

Join us as we discuss comedy gold by way of Ye, Steve enlightening G-Baby on "The D.E.N.N.I.S. System" and how it dovetails into this picture, the prospect of getting shanghai’ed in a foreign country, and alliteration notwithstanding, the downright diabolically discordant dialogue of this film.

The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, once again find themselves plunged into the depths of the silver screen. With the finesse of skilled mariners they attempt to glide through the intricate currents of this high-stakes confidence game - a mesmerizing spectacle that unfolds like an underwater chess match, where every move ripples with strategic intent and the waves of suspense lap at the shores of mystery.

For any Bone Thugs fans out there, on Crossroads is it "and I miss my Uncle Charles Jones" or "Charles y'all"?

Let's wax this buffaloed porpoise.
