Episode 3 - The Storm Breaks

Podcast episode 3, show episode 2.

Yeah the war is in full swing.

The evacuation act is probably one of the stronger bits of the series to me.  It has the tension of just travelling through a war zone, plus, you know, freaking actual Nazis. Byron and Slote are both pretty great in this bit.  At first of course Slote is a foppish twit.  But, he redeems himself with that Nazi bastard who looks like Putin.  Oh, umm, hey, show, Canadians wouldn't be evacuated with the neutrals.  We were at war with Poland.

Palmer Kirby makes his move in a way.  Rhoda gives a 'problematic' (as the kids say) performance.  I like the two characters, I just don't like them together.

Pug has met FDR and Harry Hopkins.  Ken and I agree that casting is perfect for Hopkins.  (We watched it together texting, I have no idea what Steve thinks, and I write these things in advance).

Byron goes to Germany!

Aaron Jastrow is the most annoying character in the history of dramatic irony.
