The Pope of Greenwich Village

We end Patreon August, this year focusing on Mickey Rourke, with a film we were'nt intially covering but hey, when friends make suggestions, you listen: The Pope of Greenwich Village. Noise Junkies' Father Malone programs the episode and stops by along with Rankin' on Bass's Richard Hatem to talk about Rourke's peformance, the film's tone, and the subtextual homoeroticism. Starring Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts as two cousins, the two butt heads and grapple with their place in the mob-adjacent hierarchy of mid-'80s Greenwich Village. Along the way, lye is drunk, thumbs are removed, and Eric Roberts emotes like he owes someone money.

The Woman in the Window

We continue Horrortober 8: The Horrors of Netflix with a thriller whose cast doesn't deserve to be in something this genuinely bizarre, The Woman in the Window. Starring Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, and a whole bunch of rather talented A-listers, it follows Adams an agoraphobe who thinks her across-the-way neighbor has been murdered. If it sounds like a better movie made by a director named Hitchcock, that's because it is but boy, it's really something else entirely. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk all about the film, the A-list cast, and all of that totally normal-sounding dialogue.
