Episode 08: Kojak, S2 E12

September 29, 2020 • Zoë and Richard

🔥 This week’s episode was recorded with Richard in the middle of the California wildfires that turned the sky of San Francisco red, only to be topped by a heatwave. If he sounds like he’s in a 100 degree closet with a bowl of ice water soaking a towel to put on his head… he was. Just pretend the tinkling ice and mildly muffled sound was for less apocalyptic reasons, baby! 🔥

Hang out with us as Zoë and Richard recap Kojak season 2, episode 12, “The Best War In Town” with actor and screenwriter, special guest Ben Livingston. Watch as a series of bland, indescribable gangsters try to kill other bland, indescribable gangsters for control of someplace! That is, until Kojak gets involved with his tough, no-nonsense, Hellenic street wisdom and works tirelessly to save the gangsters who murder, sell drugs, and run prostitutes. But hey, better the psychopaths you know, right?--

Finally, this episode was not sponsored by Tootsie Pops, even though you know you want one...
