Among the action stars of the 1990s, Steven Seagal's rise to fame and subsequent descent into infamy has been the most baffling. How was this man able to have a career in the first place? Who thought that giving a pathological liar money, power and a platform was a good idea (spoiler: Michael Ovitz did)? The inexplicability of it all prompts Grace to wonder: were we all just dumber in the 1990s?
Enjoy this spirited conversation about the innate power of being tall and white, prompted by the most god-awful wine commercial of all time.
Grace Todd and David Timberline are your tour guides through this ongoing investigation of cultural artifacts from our collective recent past with a unique intergenerational spin. We're convinced you'll have a great time listening to Convince Me I Care.
