Make the Case
A podcast to help you fall in love with movies all over again. Each week, Conrad Rothbaum and his co-host ShwinnyPooh come on to "Make the Case" -- that is, to put forth a hot take, argument or simply a new perspective -- about a movie they love. For questions or comments please email us at makethecasepodcast@gmail.com and we might read your email on the air! You can also call us and leave us a voicemail at (818) 538-4966 -- we want to hear from you, and may play your voicemail on the podcast! Follow the show on Twitter at @makethecaseshow. Co-hosts Conrad and Shwin are also on Twitter as @csroth and @shwinnypooh respectively, but if you follow them, be prepared for many, many tweets about the New York Knicks on your feed.

Episode 19: Collateral
IT STARTED LIKE ANY OTHER PODCAST.
In the conclusion of our Michael Mann triptych, we consider perhaps his most fun film (?!) -- the 2004 Tom Cruise vehicle COLLATERAL!
Topics include: 1) How does this movie compare to other great hitman movies? 2) A consideration of what-ifs such as Adam Sandler in the Jamie Foxx role; 3) Mark Ruffalo's "arc" in this film, and great stunt casting moments from other movies, such as Matt Damon in INTERSTELLAR and John Krasinski in DR. STRANGE AND THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS.
Leave us a message with your takes, cases or just with general feedback at (818) 538-4966, and we may play it on the air!
