About this episode
The episode discusses the film 'Hospital' by Frederick Wiseman, exploring themes of healthcare and journalism while reflecting on the director's legacy.
This week's Lane's Frame is Hospital (1970) directed by Frederick Wiseman (RIP)! We delve into the recently deceased director's work for the first time to mixed results, as you can really tell Ricky did not want to talk about this movie lol. Nevertheless, we have a spirited discussion about the healthcare system, investigative journalism, and specialized bigotry. Plus: is calling him "LeoDio" catching on? I swear I've said it once or twice and now all my friends call him that.
