In 1992 David Mamet adapted the David Mamet play Glengarry Glen Ross for the screen. This flick featured a loaded cast featuring Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Kevin “sneaky fingers” Spacey, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin, Alec Baldwin, and Jonathon Pryce…holy fuck that is a good cast. Glengarry Glen Ross is the story of a high-pressure real estate sales office whose colourful salesmen are threatened with cuts, and the result is the theft of some valuable leads. Glengarry Glen Ross was made for $12 million and resulted in a huge box office of $10 million…but was and continues to be beloved by many and touted by the critics as a masterpiece. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate high-pressure sales techniques and salesmen ethics as we try to determine if this flick is a buy, or a sell.
