WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD: We have reached our final episode of "The Gods Will Not Save You: The Wire Revisited," in which we discuss every episode of the hit original HBO series, "The Wire." We want to take this opportunity to thank anybody who has engaged with us and our project along the way. Whether you've listened to us from the beginning, came along during a later part of our run, or are just now discovering us, your engagement has meant a lot to us and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you to anybody who has left us positive reviews and ratings on podcast platforms, we truly appreciate your feedback. We would also like to give a special thank-you to all of our financial supporters on Anchor. Your helpful donations ultimately incentivized us to lend some financial support to "We Build The Block," a New York non-profit organization aimed at stopping the spread of community violence, co-founded by the late, great Michael K. Williams. We hope that our modest financial contribution helped honor this amazing actor and activist's legacy, as well as provide some relief to those communities in need. In the series finale of "The Wire," Daniels continues to be disappointed in Carcetti's tenure as mayor, as he receives the news of the serial killer hoax and essentially orders a cover-up from the top officials in order to prevent a devastating loss in his gubernatorial bid. McNulty's guilt intensifies as he and Freamon are found out, and a "copycat" killer comes onto the scene to reign real terror on the homeless community. Freamon takes the helpful tips about the lawyers from Clay Davis to expose the courthouse leak, but the news of his illegal wiretap on Marlo starts to spread rapidly, forcing Maurice Levy and Rhonda Pearlman to play a brutal game of legal tit-for-tat, preventing the Stanfield bust from being as blockbuster of a case as it could have been. The Scott Templeton/Gus Haynes beef reaches its tipping point in the newsroom when Templeton peddles his biggest lie yet. And in perhaps what is the happiest ending of the series, Reginald, aka Bubbles, finally starts to feel some relief on his path to redemption when he reluctantly agrees to let Fletcher publish the warts-and-all article, detailing his rocky road to recovery.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Carcetti continues to do a complete 180 from what he campaigned on. He gets back into bed with Clay Davis and Nerese Campbell, in order to advance his position in the gubernatorial race. Freamon bluffs his way into blackmailing Davis and giving up the crucial nugget of information: the lawyers are part of the money trail. Marlo misses out on his opportunity to celebrate Omar getting killed by a child. by going to Atlantic City with Chris, when his clock code is cracked by the cops and him and Chris end up arrested. McNulty feels like the victory is anticlimactic and meaningless. Gus is now so fed up with Templeton's lies, that he gets his other trusted colleague, Robert Ruby, in on the snooping. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support
WARNING, SPOILERS AHEAD! Clay Davis lies on the stand, humiliating Bond and eradicating any of his political ambitions. Carcetti okays the police to do whatever they want, leading McNulty to make requests that would have previously seemed outlandish. Gus continues to suspect that Templeton is a fraud when the Iraq war veteran that Scott interviewed, comes back to accuse the paper of printing falsehoods about his time in combat. Bunk is persuaded to hold back on following through with his murder warrant for Chris, so he can tie it in with McNulty and Freamon's efforts to bring down Marlo's empire. Omar gets killed by Kenard in a liquor store. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support
WARNING, SPOILERS AHEAD! McNulty finally gets the serial killer story to blast off when he fakes a call to Templeton, does a soft kidnapping of a homeless man, and gets Carcetti's full support. But he soon starts to regret this when everybody in the department comes to him begging for OT and manpower to work their own cases. Freamon needs more time to figure out what the time-based codes Marlo and company are using actually means. Fletcher goes to the viva house for an on-the-ground scoop on the homeless killings but instead meets Bubs, which prompts him to go in a different journalistic direction. Omar continues to be a thorn in Marlo's side. Rupert Bond fails miserably to put Davis' head on the chopping block, as the state senator charms the jury out of convicting him for his financial crimes. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! McNulty tries to out fake Templeton, by claiming that there's fake probable cause for wiretapping the Baltimore Sun because Templeton faked a call from the "serial killer." Without even waiting for approval, Freamon sets up a wiretap on Marlo's phone. Omar plays hide-and-seek in the utility closet at the same apartment complex from which he made his "Spider-Man" jump, while Chris, Snoop, and more of Marlo's minions are left scratching their heads. Bunk channels the angry energy that he has for McNulty into trying to solve a case the old-fashioned way, but runs up against bureaucratic lab incompetence. Carcetti turns the homeless killings into a campaign opportunity. Marlo now wears the crown at the New Day Co-Op. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! With Proposition Joe out of the way, Marlo takes on the position of being Vondas and the Greeks' Baltimore drug connection, proving that loyalty never meant anything to them and that they were always primarily concerned with their bottom line. Dukie continues to be the victim of bullying even with Michael's protection and no amount of learning how to fight or shoot guns seems to change his personality. Clay Davis takes it upon himself to shape public opinion in his own favor. Bubbles thinks he is not being punished enough for his past misdeeds. McNulty and Freamon continue to concoct false details around their "serial killer" but still have to go against bureaucratic incompetence. Omar has an extremely close call with Chris, Snoop, O-Dog and Michael. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Kenard really ticks off Officer Colicchio by setting up a brown paper bag dog feces decoy, which causes him to assault a teacher and therefore forces Carver to grow as a person and as a cop. Proposition Joe tries to send out signals to Omar that he's upset about Butchie's death, but he doesn't take into consideration that Marlo, Cheese, and the Greeks are already making moves against him. McNulty and Freamon do their best to sensationalize the idea of homeless killings to get more mileage out of their police misconduct. Meanwhile, Daniels tries to do damage control with Burrell and Carcetti continues to eat bowls of shit when he realizes he has to appease every minister in town. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Michael, fresh off a new wave of PTSD after he refused to kill a kid in a home invasion, plays hooky from dealing drugs, to go to Six Flags with Dukie and Bug, where they meet girls from Virginia with sidekick phones. Bunk is still mad at McNulty for creating a fake serial killer, so he enlists the help of Freamon to talk some sense, but Freamon ends up endorsing McNulty's plan. Valchek leaks the real crime statistics to Carcetti, which throws the whole Commissioner Burrell situation into a tailspin. Clay Davis, paranoid about his legal troubles closing in on him, continues to beg for mercy from Burrell and Carcetti. Marlo, Chris, and Snoop go behind Proposition Joe's back to send a message to Omar, get the information of Butchie's whereabouts, and then torture and kill him. Alma is disappointed that her news reporting is not getting more coverage, while Templeton invents a react quote out of thin air for Twigg's piece about the police chain-of-command shake-up. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! This might be the most depressing episode of "The Wire" ever because by the end of its running time Randy is destined to get sent back into the foster care system, Namond gets exposed for being a big softie, Dukie's family gets evicted, Michael becomes one of Marlo's henchmen, Bunny's pilot program is pretty much done for, Carcetti is finding out the hard way that he can't deliver the promises that he made to the voters because of a deficit in the city's school budget, and Sherrod takes a hotshot that was meant for Bubs' tormentor and dies. But true to the show's form, there are tiny slivers of hope: Freamon finally gets the approval to open up the vacants, even if he has to lay the groundwork for slowly climbing up the chain of command to get permission, and Omar pulls off a brilliant heist with the co-op's shipment and continues to be a thorn in Prop Joe's and Marlo's sides. Did you know this episode also has a brief cameo from real-life former Maryland Governor, Robert Ehrlich? We dig into a bit of his inconsistent legacy and his veto of the "Wal-Mart" healthcare bill. Other topics include the meaning of the name of the episode, the story behind the term "wolf tickets," and some background on the real-life "Junior Bunk." Thank you to all who have listened so far.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! The Boys of Summer decide to exact their revenge on Officer Walker by keying his car, dumping yellow paint on him, and stealing his ring, which makes Namond realize that Michael might be more involved with nefarious activities than he had previously thought. Bodie and McNulty have an awkward meetup where they both commiserate over the current brutal tactics of the BPD and begin to come to some sort of strange understanding with each other. Randy starts to learn the hard way that a lot of people know that he's a snitch, which makes Prez furious at the police for dragging his name out into the street. His fury finally leads Bunk, Carver, and Freamon to realize how much of a nincompoop Herc really is, not to mention that the whole debacle he had with the minister is beginning to have broad political consequences. Now that Daniels is made Colonel, Pearlman is the lead prosecutor with Homicide, and Carcetti is vowing to reform the tactics of citywide policing, some are optimistic about a new horizon for Baltimore, while others *cough* Jay Landsman *cough* refuse to believe anything will fundamentally change. Omar can't keep his promise to Bunk and decides to stir things up with Proposition Joe. Sherrod and Bubbles have a nice little reunion before it turns ugly again thanks to the "terminator." And Rawls realizes his quest for power might not be as easy as he thought, once Valchek gives him a cold wake-up call. Thank you again to all of our listeners.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Willy and Jacob talk about Cutty's stint as a "custodian" (more like a truant officer) and how we are sometimes in disbelief that people don't understand how public schools get funding. World-class dumb guy, Lieutenant Marrimow, takes over the MCU causing Greggs and Freamon to leave in disgust while Herc gladly comes back in to resume living his action-hero fantasy of kicking ass and taking names. Bubbles has a hard time convincing Sherrod that education is the way to go when he is living a life of squalor himself. Bodie acquiesces to Marlo's ultimatum and Chris and Snoop continue to try and recruit Michael. Proposition Joe, frustrated by Marlo's refusal to join the co-op, pulls a fast one on him and gets Omar to rob his poker game. Never a stranger to experimentation, Bunny teams up with the academic, Parenti to start studying at-risk youth at Tilghman Middle. Thank you so much to all of our listeners. We really appreciate you.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Jacob and Willy are back from accomplishing their mission of finishing out Season 3, to discuss the Season 4 opener, "Boys of Summer." Season 4, which is about the education system and all the people that are subservient to it and who run it, is considered by many die-hard Wire fans to be the absolute best. This season is certainly co-creator Ed Burns' baby (after all it is the most Ed-ucational), seeing as how he drew on his experience of being a middle school and high school teacher to inform Roland Pryzbylewski's storyline. Topics of discussion include: how Snoop's conversation with a Hardware Barn associate regarding nail guns sets up the major themes for the rest of the season, Marlo's brutal plan of evading police presence by disposing of his victims in vacant rowhouses, whether Freamon or Pearlman's political maneuverings regarding high-profile subpoenas are strategically viable or moral, and how the introduction of the four kid characters represent how people of older ages seen earlier in the show could have possibly gotten to where they were now.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Bunny checks in on the city's attitude towards crime in the neighborhoods when he attends a local town hall, Carcetti approaches Teresa D'Agostino to court her to become his campaign manager, Cutty starts to slip back into Avon's world, and McNulty learns of Stringer's developing plans while taking the heat from Freamon.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD McNulty turns to drunken debauchery and promiscuity in a painful reaction at his failed attempts of rekindling romance with his wife, Elena. The detail makes the case to Pearlman for a wiretap citing the evidence of Nick's drug dealing. Seeing how McNulty is rapidly approaching rock bottom, Freamon and Bunk desperately plead with Daniels to get McNulty involved in the case, knowing that he isn't functional without good police work to keep him busy. Ziggy is pissed that Nick is cutting him out of the drug business, pissed at his father's continuous shunning, and pissed that his coworkers are goading him into picking fights with Maui that he's so clearly not cut out for. So naturally, he decides to double down on his status with the IBS as a clown and purchases a duck who becomes his drinking buddy. Frank's flagged phone bill makes him very suspicious and brings him to the realization that he's now a full-fledged criminal. Bodie is forced to take measures into his own hands when business becomes slow. Thank you for listening everybody. Be sure to give us nice reviews and five-star ratings on itunes.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD Beadie Russell, once considered an outsider and an amateur, really starts to throw her weight around and helps the detail figure out that Sobotka's unexplained earnings are more likely from smuggled containers than from drugs. Bunk and Freamon struggle to convince Lieutenant Daniels that the murder investigation and the Sobotka racket are intertwined. Prez, Kima, and Sheryl take an awkward trip to a strip club off of a tip from Shardene in an effort to start looking into local Russian strippers and prostitutes. Meanwhile, Nick gets assistance from Sergei and Proposition Joe to help shut Ziggy up and settle any financial problems. Omar gives earth-shattering testimony on Bird's case in a bid for revenge for Brandon. And last but not least, D'Angelo breaks all of our hearts when he makes the naive decision to try and live a straight-laced existence. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! We have officially ended #Docktober and we are now going into #NoCrossingThePicketLineNovember. Come celebrate with us by listening to our recap of this incredible episode, which features the grand entrance of M-E-T-H-O-D MAN as Cheese (Proposition Joe's nephew)! And he shows up to shake Ziggy down for his incompetence (duh!) with handling the package that he bought off of him, setting off tension with the eastside and Prop Joe. An apologetic Carver joins the detail and gets reunited with his BFF Herc. Herc, Carver and Greggs suspect foul play with drugs, concerning the Sobotkas, but Freamon who's already been busy with the murder investigations thinks there's more at play. Sobotka tries to back out of his ongoing arrangement with the Greek, but Nick has different ideas. Meanwhile, Stringer tells Avon that the drugs they're getting from Atlanta are very disappointing, while he continues to have anxiety about D'Angelo's attitude about his jail sentence, which could lead to possibly deadly consequences. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support

WE'RE BACK!After an extended Australian summer break, Brod and Damask return to tackle one of the greatest TV show of all time. No, not NCIS. Not Big Bang Theory. Not The Voice. Not Fuller House. All of those choices are terrible! We're talking about THE WIRE, you idiot. With the body count in Baltimore rising the Bad News Bears of police task-forces, rule-breaking hero McNulty, the fiercely loyal Greggs, their stoic lieutenant Daniels, and everyone’s favourite Freamon, pursue the Barksdale gang and leader, Avon. D’Angelo's words, “It ain’t about right, it’s about money,” rings true for everybody, no matter which side of The Game they’re on. Whether it be Wallace struggling to deal with the violent realities of gang life, or Lieutenant Daniels having to compromise his ideals for the good of the department, everyone’s just trying to survive.SHOW NOTES:'‘American Gods’ Showrunners Bryan Fuller, Michael Green Exit' - Daniel Holloway at Variety.com: http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/american-gods-1202626402/'Meryl Streep Joins ‘Big Little Lies’ Season 2' - Joe Otterson at Variety.com: http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/meryl-streep-big-little-lies-season-2-1202675363/'Charmed Reboot Gets CW Pilot Order, Adds 'Feminist' Story Line' - James Hibberd at EW.com: http://ew.com/tv/2018/01/25/charmed-reboot-pilot/'This is what The Wire looks like in HD' - Dante D'Orazio at The Verge.com: https://www.theverge.com/2014/12/28/7457291/the-wire-hd-screenshot-comparisonsCONTACT USWEBSITE: www.huntingseasonspodcast.comEMAIL: contact@huntingseasonspodcast.comFACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/huntingseasonsTWITTER: www.twitter.com/huntingscastBroderick Gordes: www.twitter.com/bgordesDamask Leary: www.twitter.com/maskymooCREDITSHunting Seasons Logo and Graphics: Sean Kirkpatrick - www.seankirkpatrickdesigns.portfoliobox.netHunting Seasons Theme Song: Jordan Kalyvas - www.soundcloud.com/classicjrexHunting Seasons is proud to be part of the Ear Buds podcast network - www.earbudsnetwork.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

He also schools Prez on what’s pertinent and non-pertinent. They also get Stinkum’s pager number. Rawls finds out that McNulty and Bunk have linked D’Angelo to three murder cases and presses them for an arrest warrant, which will kill the case. They appeal to Daniels, who is initially reluctant, but eventually stands up to Rawls and get the Deputy involved, buying them another month.Storyline 2: Omar starts turning “Snitch”McNulty gets a call from Omar that he wants to see Brandon’s body. McNulty has the boys and brings them along with Omar to the morgue. An upset Omar starts to flip - heading to the office and agreeing to be an eye-witness to the murder of Gant by Bird. The StreetStoryline 1: Brandon’s Body and Wallace’s reactionThe show opens on Brandon’s brutally murdered body. Happening offscreen makes it even more powerful. The sight is seriously affecting Wallace, even when he gets rewarded $500 by String and Avon. D’Angelo reminds him that “killing is part of the game”. D’Angelo tells Wallace that two of the lookouts had been thieving, but he kept it wrapped up and moved them off.Storyline 2: Bodie and Juvenile CourtMaurice Levy defends Bodie in court and he gets off very lightly.
