[The Wire] 413: Final Grades, with Murder Bryan

Pod Yourself A Gun - A Rewatch Podcast

“It is okay to be several types of guy, the problem is when you’re one type of guy.” -Murder Bryan Quinby

As another season of Pod Yourself The Wire comes to a close, Matt & Vince welcome the host of the Guys podcast, Murder Bryan Quinby, to talk about The Wire’s season four finale, “Final Grades.”

We’ve got some final grades of our own to hand out. Vince’s synopsis of the episode gets a A+ for accuracy and brevity: The cops have all learned to care but the system makes it so it doesn’t matter.

Herc and Carver get Fs for fucking up Randy’s life. Bodie gets an A for being friends with McNulty (we like when they friends) and for standing tall. He also gets two bullets in the head for those very same reasons, which brings us to Michael, who gets a B. His gunmanship is undeniable but points were docked for killing one of the friends (we like when they friends but how can be friend when dead?). Namond gets a B. It stands for bitch. He’s a lil bitch, but he should listen to Vince Staple’s advice and learn to be okay with that.

The season gets a B+, and if you have to ask why, are you even listening to the pod? The listeners all get an A-. Why the minus? Not enough five-star reviews on Apple Podcasts.
