  • Great listen!

    I am re-watching “The Wire” for the umpteenth time and this podcast is a great supplement to the show. Method Man does a fabulous job of hosting and getting to the essence of why “The Wire” is one of the best shows (if not the best) of all time. Just quality all around.

But now I can’t help but wonder what it would look like if Lance Reddick (RIP one of best) was cast as Bubbles!

I love to hear about how the series got started and about the message it was trying to convey of the culture and the struggles of Baltimore. I’m a fan of Homicide, and We Own This City, painting a clear picture of decades of life on t... more
