I always loved the scene in the Wire where Marlo's character arc was wrapped up. Marlo leaves a room full of business men to go snatch a corner......and we had he ambiguous ending of recognizing that Marlo could only feel at home in the streets. Almost feels like poetic justice that Alpo went out on his shield the same way. He wasn't going to die a boring death in Maine with a regular job. He died the same way he lived his life.
Alpo was really short sighted. Dude could have been a fukking star in the media/podcasting game. He only knew what he knew. He could have dropped documentary, sold a book, did a pod and kept it moving
Unfortunately he didn’t have to real businessman in his era telling him this that media/podcasting route is more lucrative and he would be even more famous than doing that street corner shyt
