For the 27th episode of Framed + Bound, we're joined by author Paula Bomer (The Stalker, Nine Months) to discuss the 2006 ensemble drama Even Money, in which Kim Basinger plays a novelist whose writers block turns into a dangerous gambling addiction.
Discussed: the career of Mark Rydell, the influence of Robert Altman, the excellence of Forest Whittaker, the excellence of The Long Goodbye, Anthony Jeselnik's blurbs, the absurdly good cast here, and more.
