253: MANHUNTER Movie Club (Part 2) With Gala Avary & Rich Johnson
We continue our marathon discussion of Michael Mann’s MANHUNTER. We talk the danger of the distorted lens, the self and shadow self, how Mann’s obsession with the smallest details enriches the bigger picture, Willam Friedkin’s near casting as Hannibal, Mann's impeccable song & score selections, digital vs. film, Mann's Chicago origins & extensive work in television & The Keep.
We also address (nearly all) of your Listener Comments & Questions. Our apologies to those we didn’t get to, send us further comments and corrections for a supplemental addendum which will feature the missing contributions. Organizational difficulties thwarted our best intentions.

Customer Reviews
This much whimsy is worth your time!
Love this show and the variety of guests, and the fabulous rapport Craig has with them. Probably my favourite guests so far have been (in no particular order) Mrs Kasha Davis, Crystal, Bitqch Puddin, Miz Cracker (an adorable drag nerd), John Grant and the magnificent Boulet Brothers. More please!
I love this podcast!
I’ve always loved this show from episode one but it has been a great source of therapy during lockdown. Knowing people are feeling like you and struggle too has helped me. I love you Craig and I’m also proud to support you on Patreon 💜💜💜
