This episode is a first for Decoder Ring: a live show, recorded at the WBUR Festival in Boston, Massachusetts. Given the setting, we decided to take on a Boston-based cultural mystery: namely, the “Boston movie.” Beginning in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Hollywood has churned out a whole cycle of films drenched in Beantown's particularities, crimes, crops, class conflicts, and accents, from The Departed to The Town. Why does a city smaller than El Paso or Jacksonville loom so large in the cinematic imagination? Why does Boston have a movie subgenre all its own? What makes a Boston movie a Boston movie? With the help of three guests—film critic Ty Burr; Lisa Simmons, founder of the Roxbury International Film Festival; and Boston University linguist Danny Erker—we look closely at the history and heyday of the Boston movie: how The Friends of Eddie Coyle set the template, Good Will Hunting shoved the door wide open, and Mystic River ushered in an imperial phase. We discuss the importance of race and class to the Boston movie and the city itself, the role of homegrown movie stars like Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg, and, of course, the best and worst of Boston accents on film. This episode of Decoder Ring was produced by Willa Paskin and Max Freedman. Our team also includes Katie Shepherd and supervising producer Evan Chung. Merritt Jacob is Slate's Technical Director.

Send us a textYou're gonna like these apples for sure. This week the boys are going back to 1997 to revisit this amazing take on the "troubled genius" theme that Hollywood loves so wicked much. Watching hurts a little more this time knowing Williams isnt with us anymore, but luckily the Southie accents more than make up for it.Spoiler! The boys liked this one a lot and were really at a loss for words which, we suppose, is not very good for a podcast. Listen anyways, ya Barneys.
Ryan describes his childhood in Southie and how it made him "working class tough."
FAA staff shortage might slow down air traffic amid the busy Thanksgiving travel week, Southie residents are debating over more Blue Bikes, and another EV recall on the same vehicles from earlier this year. Stay in "The Loop" with #iHeartRadio.
