    508 – “Eldorado”

    508 – “Eldorado”

    HBO’s Boardwalk Empire has come to it’s inevitable conclusion, and A.Ron and Jim are at peace with it.  In fact, we think it’s beautiful and painful in a way that Boardwalk finales tend to be, if not more so.  Things get dusty when fathers say goodbye to sons, and brothers say goodbye to brothers, and we fret and rage as we see multiple generations of families self destruct before our very eyes.  It’s sad and wonderful and I’m very glad I came along for the ride.  Join us for 2+ hours of thoughts and emotions about the episode and the series as a whole from your two hosts and tons of your fellow fans.

    507 – “Friendless Child”

    In this Speakeasy podcast, covering episode 507 of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, “Friendless Child”, Jim talks A.Ron off a ledge, they decide to write their own perfect conclusion to the series, they marvel at the level of dishevelment Eli Thompson brings to bear, wonder at just how terrible Willie is at avoiding kidnappings and traps, and mourn the ignominious ends to Grandpa Gus and one Mickey Doyle.

    504 – Cuanto

    Jim and A.Ron cover the mid-point of Boardwalk Empire, episode 504, “Cuanto”.  We ponder the ultimate fate of Nucky, if the Commodore and Sheriff Hammer are playing good cop / bad cop with Lil’ Nucky’s soul, if Capone is playing possum about knowledge of Jimmy Darmondy, and consider the many charms of drunken Margaret.

One complaint

Fantastic podcast as usual from Bald Move. I only wish these guys had the time to go back and do the first four seasons, since I'm only just now getting to the show.

Best Podcasts On iTunes

Bald Move has the absolute best podcasts for some of the best television programs on iTunes. Their “Speakeasy” podcast for Boardwalk Empire is particularly good. Great insights, calm and intelligent analysis (unlike those horrible AfterBuzz idiots), and with a real love for the show. Keep up the good work, boys.
