Tony Schwartz and The Wire

Joe and Mark invite Tony Schwartz, a veteran freelance first assistant director and line producer for film and television, to make the case for why everyone should watch The Wire. Tony worked on two of Joe and Mark's favorite shows: Freaks and Geeks and the cult favorite, Firefly, and talks about the heartbreak of working on such fabulous shows only to have them succumb to the whims of how the industry sometimes works. Tony goes on to make a compelling case for watching his favourite show The Wire, which first aired in 2002. "It has often been described as the greatest show that nobody saw," he says.    Tony makes his case so well that Mark wound up buying the complete DVD collection while they were still recording this episode!
