  • An essential companion to the series. I absolutely loved the Wire, and We Own This City did not disappoint. It was great to have the discussion between the guys to go to after the episode.

  • Really like these guys…

    Smart and smooth. I dig their House of Dragon too! They’re more straightforward than jokey so not high on comedy, but I would listen to them discuss any show.

  • Finally BM covers a good show again

    Sooo glad to have these guys back on a crime drama (vs garbage like TWD and comic/IP/scifi).

    It would have had a little more of the BM production value I’m used to with some kind of music intro (a la GOT and BB), but considering they’ve all but given up on BCS for some reason, I’ll take what I can get.

  • Not a real review…

    As a screenwriter myself I always get the nuts and bolts on a story’s DNA. Simon started covering the street if Baltimore in 84. So the drug culture he saw though old by The Wires debut was still in effect. The cell phone pay phone thing was a update if beepers which were everywhere back then (I’m a 70’s baby btw). There is a big difference between the 80/90’s drug dealers and the 70’s. Just google the infamous Nikky Barnes NY Times Magazine cover. Dude is in a suit. When I was 12 the hustlers w... more

  • These guys… 😒

    I love this show, but I just can’t get behind this podcast. From “Freddie Green” down to the co-host consistently referring to himself as “A-Ron” (circa Key & Peele) these guys just seem kinda disconnected but “wanting to be woke” if you will. I just can’t buy it. They seem disingenuous to me.

  • Nope

    You guys are clueless. Freddie Green? Seriously?? Do your homework. This is not season 6 of The Wire. We all love Simon but pay attention to THIS story and stop pretending you are Wire-wise. And give Justin Fenton his due. The facts are easily researchable because guess what? This is based on a true story.

  • Simon Fans?

    How can the host say he loves David Simon’s work yet has not watched Treme?

    And how can the host be a fan of David Simon’s work and refer to Freddie Grey as “Freddie Green?” Come on- do your homework!
