Jim and A.Ron break down a very “boardwalky” episode of Boardwalk Empire, “The Good Listener”. We talk about the Kennedy Family Empire, speculate on who Gillian is corresponding with, marvel at Stephen Graham’s performance as the coke/syphilis addled Capone, and ponder how Nucky’s childhood informs our understanding of Nucky the man. All this, plus your feedback, and a very special discussion about the State of Bald Move.
