Three Films By Warren Beatty

This video is going to be a little bit odd. It's not inspired by any one specific thing happening in the zeitgeist, but rather an odd confluence of topics that have been on Dom's mind, all dovetailing at the intersection of current events and Warren Beatty's filmography.

Revisiting the legendary actor/filmmaker's work, Dom settled on having a discussion about three of his films: 1981's Reds, 1990's Dick Tracy, and 1998's Bulworth. Between the three, Dom finds a throughline of ideas and suppositions all tethered to a variety of issues that have been on his mind as of late.

It's been a hard week, folks. Feel free to take a short break and reassess the complex history of a 70s film icon, or, at the very least, see if Madonna's bops from Dick Tracy are on Spotify.
