I have a podcast called Almost Plausible that I make with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object (like a pillow, or a zipper, or a ceiling fan) and we create a movie plot based on that object.
We’ve been doing the show for nearly 4 years now. It’s fun to make, but it takes up a fair amount of my time. For me, a “reward” would just be more listeners. That would feel very validating.
Heist (2001)
I like all of Mamet’s films, but Heist is head and shoulders above the rest, IMO. Besides being a well written heist film with a great cast, it rewards rewatching. I’ve watched it so many times, but the last time I watched it, I caught a new detail I hadn’t noticed before.
