GET SHORTY is one of Elmore Leonard's best known and best regarded novels. But after re-reading it, both Alex and Judd believe it is still under appreciated.

In Part Two, they track Elmore's breadcrumbs, express appreciation for getting to see more of Ray Bones in the movie than what's in the book, admire Bo Catlett, and more. Also, Judd shares how his grandfather may have assisted James Gandolfini during production of the adaptation.
