Uli Edel

you should have some special guests to talk about this time at least

This is a double play and directed by Uli Edel and written by Scott Frost and first broadcast on the 2nd of February 1991.

And the special guest star...

We could say his name but not say his name.

So all what I'm saying is that he, you know, he does get something with the thesis, the Islamization of radicalism, but it still begs the question, why is it more extreme? And why is, what is it about Islam in the current global configuration that serves as a vehicle? Whereas what did before it would have been anarcho-leftist radicalism that would have been that vehicle?

I should make reference to episode 355 from three years ago, where we discussed, the episode's called Effing and Shooting Are Not the Same, which is a reference to a film we discussed, Uli Edel's 2008 film, The Bader-Meinhof Complex, and talked a lot about kind of the Red Brigade's 1960s, particularly 1970s, 80s, left-wing terrorism,

and

might be useful to dig that up if you're interested to make these, to bring to light some of these contrasts.

So with that, with today, we are diving into the 22nd and 23rd episodes of the series, which is episode 14 and 15 of season two, also known as Double Play that aired on February 2nd, 1991.

That episode was written by Scott Frost and directed by Uli Edel and Slaves and Masters, which aired on February 9th, 1991, and was written by Harley Payton and Robert Engels and directed by, yes, the Diane Keaton.

In case you need a refresher, here is the synopsis read by Justin and Philip.

Cooper confides in Truman, telling of his sordid past with Wyndham Earl's wife that led to her death and Earl going crazy.
