Put that coffee down!

We're going to talk about something important. We're going to talk about Glengarry Glen Ross, the film from James Foley based on the Tony- and Pulizer-winning play by David Mamet. It's about a group of shady real estate salesmen in a big city boiler room trying to make the big money, get on the board, keep their jobs, and avoid winning third prize.

This episode concludes our two-part interview with James Foley. We also talk with Ed Harris about his role in the film.

We're joined by Chris Stachiw from the Kulturecast podcast.
