Ep. 235: CODA and the Blow

After well more than a week to reflect on the lessons of Oscar night, Michael praises a rare movie authentically set in the working class that won Best Picture — and he gives his take on the vicious assault on Chris Rock that was followed minutes later with his assailant getting a standing ovation and an Oscar.

In this episode, Michael also tells the story of the threat of violence he encountered backstage just moments after his Oscar speech in 2003.
