Hello. Hello and welcome to slate money goes to the movies. I'm Felix Salmon of Axios. I'm here with Elizabeth Spires of Slate in New York Times and places like that

Hello? I'm here with Emily Peck of Axios.

Hello, hello? We are going to talk Peck of Axios. Hello?

We are going to talk about The Insider, which is one of the best films from the best year for cinema in basically our entire lives.

1999, the Anas Maribulus of movie years, and to talk about it, all long time slate money listeners will be overjoyed by this one.

We have the OG slate money co-, back for the first time in sometime.

Jordan Weisman, welcome.

Thanks for having me.

Whoa, we are excited to have you. Tell the folks like, because you're not even at slate anymore.

What's your life like these days?

Much of life.

It's the grind of editing copy about Congress.

So these days I am the Washington editor at Semaphore,

which is a news startup that's been going for almost exactly one year now if you haven't,

if you haven't heard about it, our editor-in-chief is Ben Smith, formerly of Buzzfeed in the New York Times.

And yeah, I mean these days I just... Smith, formerly of BuzzFeed in the New York Times.

And yeah, I mean, these days, I just have been driving myself crazy

watching Congress meltdown in cycles of retribution.

Rather you than me.

That sounds like a terrible job.

You had much more fun when you were co-hosting slate money.

I don't know what you were thinking.
