172: American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, Part 2 (with Karen Geier)
Added 2024-06-28 15:00:11 +0000 UTCIn the second half of our discussion about the 2016 FX miniseries American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, Karen Geier and I dig into more of the great performances including Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark, Sterling K. Brown as Christopher Darden, and Courtney B. Vance as Johnnie Cochran, and talk about some of the other highlights of the series, including the possible romance between Clark and Darden the show illustrates, and the episodes about the Bronco chase, the racism of the LAPD and the experiences of the sequestered jury members, and a salute to the other creative forces of the show, producers and showrunners Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, specialists in what they call “anti-biopics”, depicting the lives of people who wouldn’t seem worthy of the biopic treatment, with full immersions into these characters and their worlds.
American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson is available for streaming on Hulu in the United States and Disney+ internationally.
