Episode description

David Mamet's play "American Buffalo" is gritty, sharp, and oh-so-funny. Jackson and Jacob explore the humor, the language, and the changes of power in one of Mamet's most popular scripts. First produced in 1975, "American Buffalo" still feels fresh and inventive. This week's "No Script" is J&J's first episode on a Mamet script, and they tenatively wade into the wild world of Mametspeak.
