Speakeasy - A Boardwalk Empire Podcast

Jim and A.Ron break down a very “boardwalky” episode of Boardwalk Empire, “The Good Listener”. We talk about the Kennedy Family Empire, speculate on who Gillian is corresponding with, marvel at Stephen Graham’s performance as the coke/syphilis addled Capone, and ponder how Nucky’s childhood informs our understanding of Nucky the man. All this, plus your feedback, and a very special discussion about the State of Bald Move.

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.

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.
