UNLOCKED: Episode 169 - Jewison & DeVito's Guide To Neoliberalism (Part 2: 1979-2003)

Reel Politik Podcast

NOTE: This episode was originally released in October 2020 on patreon.com/reelpolitik, but we've decided to release it for free in light of Norman Jewison's death. We'd already made the first in this two-parter available for free on this very feed here: https://soundcloud.com/reelpolitikpodcast/unlocked-episode-168-jewison-the-mighty-fist-of-liberalism-pt-1. RIP Norman Jewison. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Jack and Yair are back with the back half of Norman Jewison's filmography, picking up after F.I.S.T. (1978) with a quick breeze through his 1979-91 filmography, before getting deep into 1991's Other People's Money - a flawed but somewhat incisive portrait of a changing American capitalism starring an electric Danny DeVito as a Gordon Ghekko-type parasite - and Jewison's final film, 2003's The Statement, starring Michael Caine as an escaped Nazi war criminal. Plus - 1998's The Hurricane and the Bob Dylan song that inspired it.
