Motherless Brooklyn devotes a lot of time to explanation, which may be necessary given the

0:27.6

intricacy of the plot, but which turns into a lecture after a while. Randolph played with a

0:32.4

bowling dynamism that has baldens fine as strong as note, as Norton places impossibly enough,

0:37.8

the center of a tale of large-scale malfeasance and personal vice that suggests a variation on

0:43.4

China tale. That's from A.O. Scott, New York Times. Here's a review of Motherless Brooklyn,

0:47.5

one of five movies we're reviewing this time here on Sina Fowl. That's right, I always listen to

0:52.1

the people out there. You guys are so great to be listening, and as always I appreciate the

support. If you can go to Apple Podcast, subscribe, rate, and review. That's how we keep this

1:42.6

anything to do with Sina Fowl. So Sarah made my day, and then we got to talking, and she mentioned

1:47.0

the fact that she'd commented previously. And I said, I know who you are. You commented last

1:52.2

February, you said, you work in the industry and out of sports, you found my podcast. She said,

1:55.6

yes. So there you go. I pay attention to every single review that comes in, whether it's good or
