437:Megalopolis, with Roman Mars

Episode notes

You KNEW this episode was coming, and we got to it as soon as we could! We discuss Francis Ford Coppola’s defiantly personal, defiantly incomprehensible, personal-fortune-destroying Megalopolis! And for such a megaflopolis episode we enlisted the help of Roman Mars, a man who knows a thing or two about architecture and design, and who’s currently co-hosting a podcast series with Elliott about The Power Broker, a book about Robert Moses (clearly an inspiration for Adam Driver’s “what if Robert Moses but not totally evil” character)!

We’re in season 2 of FlopTV! Pop in for individual episodes, or get a price break with a season pass! Peruse the full line-up and/or get tickets here! And hey, while you’re clicking on stuff, why not subscribe to our NEWSLETTER, “Flop Secrets?!”
