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. |
| 0:08.0 | Hello, Alex Steed. |
| 0:10.0 | We're talking about American gangster today. |
| 0:12.5 | How do you feel about that? |
| 0:14.7 | I'm really excited about it. |
| 0:16.3 | I feel like this is one of the episodes where we went for our allotted time and we're starting to |
| 0:23.2 | show fatigue but still had another show's worth of stuff to say. And yeah, that's always really |
| 0:30.2 | exciting. It's interesting. Like what we do is not work because we talk about movies and feelings and ideas and stuff. |
| 0:40.3 | But there's certainly a point in the conversation where you've been talking about those things intensely for a while and you can wear, but you still want to keep going. |
| 0:51.3 | And I think that that's how we left this, which was very nice. |
| 0:53.3 | Yeah. And then it's like Ernest Hem left this, which was very nice. Yeah. |
| 0:54.4 | And then it's like Ernest Hemingway said. |
| 0:56.3 | Like at the end of the day, you always leave a little more American gangster to talk about that you're excited to get to you next time. Actually, it's so funny. I just just the second read a Joan Didion analysis of Ernest Hemingway, which we will cut out of this, this, |
| 1:11.9 | because that's like the most insufferable thing I can say. |
| 1:15.7 | Nah, you could say much worse stuff. |
| 1:18.3 | She is the Jim Morrison of Marissa Rubicis. |
| 1:20.8 | Let's be honest. |
| 1:22.2 | She is the Jim Morrison of Mrs. |
| 1:24.4 | I hope that we can somehow get that message to Griffin Dunn to deliver up the |
| 1:30.1 | flagpole. Yes. And she'll be like, what? Excuse me. What do you think Joan Didion's engagement, |
| 1:39.0 | if any at all, was with Jim Morrison? Well, she wrote a piece about Jim Morrison or about like sitting in on a recording session |
