We’re kicking off a month of discussing comedy films with a look at Martin Scorsese's After Hours (1985). When The Last Temptation of Christ was put in turnaround again, producers Griffin Dunne and Amy Robinson approached Martin Scorsese about helming a Kafkaesque story about a yuppie stuck in Soho by first-time screenwriter Joseph Minion. Originally called Lies, Dunne would go on to star as Paul Hackett, surrounded by an amazing cast of characters.
Chris Stachiw and Tim Luz join Mike to discuss one of Scorsese's more unusual films and the controversy surrounding it.
Special Guest: Doris Dörrie Guest Co-Hosts: Adam Spiegelman, Heather Drain
Directed by Doris Dörrie, Me and Him (1988) is based on the novel Two: A Phallic Novel by Alberto Moravia and stars Griffin Dunne as Bert Uttanzi, a man who has a very active relationship with his penis. On the day of his 35th birthday he begins hearing directly from his penis, voiced by Mark Linn-Baker. Bert is an architect who’s trying to get his plans for a new marina built. He’s overly dedicated to his work while his penis tries to get him to care more about the carnal pleasures in life.
The film's producer, Bernd Eichinger, also produced last week's film, Heaven: The Story of a Murderer.
