About this episode
The episode discusses the film The Insider, exploring its direction, cinematography, and cultural references.
The cat, TOTALLY out of the bag: it's The Insider (1999) directed by Michael Mann! We open this week's Lane Frame with a loooong digression about Taco Bell and breakfast foods before getting into Mann's oeuvre. We chat about his use of color, the effectiveness of the camerawork, and Al Pacino's energy levels. Plus: Ricky tries to explain some internet shit to me and I still don't understand it tbh. Hopefully you do, WWWatchers.
