  • Summary

  • The third member of the Bennett/Wanger love triangle is Jennings Lang (Griffin Dunne), an agent at MCA, then the largest talent agency in the world. In 1951, Lang represents a threat to Walter Wanger’s marriage, but also to his livelihood. Jennings’ son and former colleagues discuss the affair, how the relationship inspired the Oscar-winning Billy Wilder classic The Apartment, and how Lang survived both Walter’s bullet and jokes about having his “balls shot off” to dominate the next incarnation of the studio system for the television age. Also featuring Noah Segan as Jay Kanter.

great story, SCREAMING ADS

I'm enjoying this story, and the presentation is great. But it's nearly impossible to listen to at work, or anywhere you can't grab the volume button, because the advertisements are painfully loud when compared to the podcast.
