136. The Miracle of Preston Sturges
David Mamet called his films "irrefutable proof of the afterlife." I call him the poet laureate of American capitalism.

134. Evil Sports Cards
Since their "indescribably fiendish" origins in the Civil War, picture cards taught American boys how to smoke/chew/trade/lust/worship/collect/invest/gamble/deal with Japs... and of course how to remember. In part one of this deep dive, I review the wild history of this extremely American hobby and business from its shocking birth to its billion dollar boom and bust in the early 1990s...before I entered the scene.
