Summary
American Gangster goes deep on power, racism, organized crime, geopolitics and—of course—dads and we get into all that and more with the fabulous Sin á Tes Souhaits. We also have a fun update regarding our Pretty in Pink episode!
You can find Sin here: Twitter and on the Information Super Highway.
The Why Are Dads cherub shirt design will only be available through May 28th, 2021 and then it'll be retired for good!
We made a playlist to accompany this episode! It's comprised of songs that come to mind when we all think about this movie.
Why Are Dads is a show in which hosts Sarah Marshall and Alex Steed attempt to understand what the hell it means to be the grown children of dads and other dad-like figures. And, as they do with all difficult subject matter, they do so by looking through a pop culture lens.
You can find us on Twitter, Instagram and Patreon.
You can find producer and music director Carolyn Kendrick's music here. She's also on Twitter.
Fresh Lesh produces the beats for our episodes.
Abigail Swartz of Gray Day Studio designed our logo!

| 0:00.0 | Hello Sarah Marshall. Hello Alex Seed. We're talking about American gangster today. How |
| 0:12.9 | do you feel about that? I'm really excited about it. I feel like this is one of the episodes |
| 0:18.3 | where we went for our allotted time and we're starting to show fatigue but still had another |
| 0:25.9 | show is worth of stuff to say and yeah that's always really exciting. It's interesting like what we do |
| 0:33.9 | is not work because we talk about movies and feelings and ideas and stuff but we there's certainly |
| 0:42.6 | a point in the conversation where you've been talking about these things intensely for a while |
| 0:48.2 | and you can you can wear but you still want to keep going and I think that that's how we left |
| 0:52.3 | this which was very nice. Yeah and then it's like Ernest Hemingway said like at the end of the |
| 0:56.9 | day you always leave a little more American gangster to talk about that you're excited to get to |
| 1:01.2 | next time. Actually it's so funny I just just the second red a jendillion analysis of Ernest Hemingway |
| 1:10.2 | which we will cut out of this because it's that's a like the most inseparable thing I can say. |
| 1:14.7 | Yeah you could say my core stuff. She is the Jim Morrison of Marissa Robisi's let's be honest. |

| 1:30.7 | Yes and she'll be like what? Excuse me. What do you think |
| 1:37.1 | jendillion's engagement if any at all was with Jim Morrison? |
| 1:42.5 | Well she wrote a piece about Jim Morrison or about like sitting in on a recording session with the |
| 1:47.1 | doors and how I think it was just that Jim Morrison wasn't showing up to work and just people trying |
| 1:52.8 | to figure out what to do when Jim wasn't there. I can't remember like do they actually encounter |
| 1:57.3 | each other in that or is it just like I was where Jim Morrison should have been but was not. |
| 2:02.5 | I think it was I was where Jim Morrison should have been like it's very interesting to me that |
| 2:07.5 | Joan Didian has become this like symbol of the sixties when as far as I can tell she kind of hated |
