Episode 3: Barfly
October 20, 2020 02:04 - 38 minutes - 17.6 MBIn this episode we watch Barfly starring Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway. The movie is an interesting tone but still pretty straight forward so rather than talk about it for a long time we have a shorter episode mixed with a conversation about our own personal love for bars. Oh, and we discuss hard to find movies from a retail perspective. Instagram | Facebook | Finding Film | Nikki's Letterboxd
Episode 2: King of New York
October 12, 2020 15:16 - 1 hour - 30.9 MBIn which I have Colin watch King of New York, we both enjoy it, yet spend almost an hour armchair directing and talking about how we would change it for 2020. Some things include: How Fincher would be a great director for the remake, how AWESOME Christopher Walken is, and how for some reason Larry Fishburne isn't the main character but is also the star. As an aside in the 2020 remake, we've settled on Cillian Murphy as the new King of New York. You can follow us on Instagram at finding.fi...
