77 - Capone: Level 35 Boss with Will Menaker
We recorded this episode before the demonstrations in response to the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police began. We've donated to the Minnesota Freedom Fund (which now has a pause on donations), so we ask you to consider giving to some of these great causes:
- Justice for Regis
- Prairie Province Prisoner Support Fund
- Official George Floyd Memorial Fund
- 70+ US Community Bail Funds via ActBlue
Will Menaker from Chapo Trap House joins Team Kino this week to explore Josh Trank's Capone: a film where Tom Hardy waddles around in a diaper chomping a carrot and squawking like Danny DeVito's Penguin. It's an odyssey of fake friends, shitting your pants while being interviewed by the FBI, and yes, we get into the Armond White review.
