For our forty-eighth episode, Mike White (“The Projection Booth” podcast) returns for a movie discussion of Francis Ford Coppola’s unheralded 1988 triumph “Tucker: The Man and His Dream”. Despite what you have been led to believe, it’s not really about cars. We discuss Coppola’s desire to do something interesting with his wealth, how George Lucas bailed his mentor out after a decade of flops, why Martin Landau was robbed of an Academy Award nomination at the least, Coppola’s failure to secure Frank Capra as an executive producer, and so much more.

Ryan’s Recommendations: “The Godfather” (1972), “Apocalypse Now” (1979), and “The Cotton Club” (1984)
