Episode 72: Glengarry Glen Ross with Tom Beasley

Episode 72

Monday, June 1, 2026 • Duration 47:09

Glengarry Glen Ross is a drama film about real estate salesmen. It doesn't sound that interesting. However, when it's written by David Mamet (The Postman Always Rings Twice, The Untouchables, American Buffalo), directed by James Foley (Fear, Who's That Girl, At Close Range) and starring Jack Lemmon (Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, The China Syndrome), Alec Baldwin (Beetlejuice, The Hunt For Red October, The Boss Baby), Ed Harris (The Truman Show, The Abyss, The Rock), Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine, Edward Scissorhands, Fire Sale), Kevin Spacey (The Usual Suspects, American Beauty, L.A. Confidential), Jonathan Pryce (Brazil, Evita, The Age of Innocence) and Al Pacino (Serpico, The Godfather, Dick Tracy), then it is anything but boring.

British film critic Tom Beasley joins the podcast to discuss this 1992 film. Tom talks about his love of swearing in it, how each actor knows when to step aside for another actor to have their moment and why Pacino's performance is so full-on. He also talks about why it is a terrible title for a film.
