[The Wire] 303: Dead Soldiers, with Brent Flyberg

“I’m embarrassed that I ever related to him [McNulty] in any way.” -Brent Flyberg It’s me, I’m the guest. Comedian and producer of this here podcast, Brent Flyberg , joining Matt & Vince to pod ourselves a bro troika and talk about The Wire season three, episode three, “Dead Soldiers.” For an episode that features a shootout resulting in a friendly fire face shot, it also feels like a transitional episode where nothing really happens. Cutty tries to adjust to the outside, Bunny goes Office Space mode, Marlo acts menacing, and Carcetti is charming but hollow. It’s a road map for the season to come, but I want to hit the friggin’ road already. I want Hamsterdam. I want to see Cutty hook up with his boxing students’ moms, but instead we get this forty-degree-day of an episode. Look I can’t explain it, but I do think Frankie Fasion, the actor who plays Burell, based on his speaking voice, sounds like, if he were to sing, he would sound like the Neville Brothers do in the season three theme.
