Soderbergh Ep. 30: The Knick Season 2 (2015)
Notas del episodio
Scrub in, folks - we're headed back to the operating theater for the second and final season of The Knick! Doctors Thack and Edwards and the gang are up to even more bleak shenanigans this time, and we're talking about it all. It's a bonafide Pod Casty cornucopia of context as we chat medical hypnotism, eugenics, Black Nationalism, sideshows, addiction treatment, urban revival churches, condoms, New York City corruption, and a bunch of other stuff. Plus, Kimi's really one on this time.
