Ep: 81 (Yuppie Nightmares Pt. 3) After Hours

Episode 81 (Yuppie Nightmares) This week Alec and Derek watch Martin Scorsese’s Kafkaesque 1985 masterpiece After Hours. A long night begins for bored word processor Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne) after meeting the attractive Marcy (Rosanna Arquette) in an uptown cafe, and is invited to spend the night with her at artist friend Kiki Bridges’ SoHo loft. But instead of the one night stand Paul was hoping for, fate sticks out a foot sending our midtown interloper into the chaotic late night world below Houston, where to quote the great Dick Miller “Different rules apply”, and where every character Paul encounters including the various artists, waitresses, cab drivers, punks, ice cream truck drivers, park cruisers, and burglars (featuring Teri Garr, Catherine O’Hara, John Heard, Verna Bloom, as well as Cheech and Chong) threaten his sanity as well as his life. Will Paul ever make it home, will he escape the angry mob and live to see the dawn, and will he ever get that plaster of Paris bagel and cream cheese paperweight? Stay up and find out.
