It feels weird to say it, but Al Pacino is relevant again. His performance as Joe Paterno has everybody talking, from Bill Simmons to Will Leitch and Tim Grierson, and you can't have a big-time Pacino movie without the And Justice for Al gang getting involved as well.

The three have reconvened for a very special Paterno episode, discussing Al's late-career renaissance as a series of confused, malicious, or doddering old white men and wondering if HBO is giving Pacino the boost he needs for one last bit of brilliance.
