Maxim Interrogates the Makers and Stars of The Wire | Maxim

Premiered 10 years ago this month, now an oral history.

Method Man (Calvin “Cheese” Wagstaff, Proposition Joe’s gang): We had a taste of what The Wire was before The Wire came out when they did The Corner. It was like Star Trek compared to Star Wars.  Star Trek was good, but you wanted to see more detail. I wanted to see some space fighting. When Star Wars came out it blew my fucking mind.

Uhh, lots of spoilers. You’ve been warned.
