Episode 21: MILLER'S CROSSING (1990) [feat. Eric Leith]

Featuring special guest Eric Leith! In Tom Reagan's gritty gangster world, caring is a quick way to get yourself shot. It's too bad, then, that he cares very much about Leo O'Bannon, his Irish mob boss, and Verna Bernbaum, the woman they both think they love. When Verna's brother runs afoul of the rival Italian mafia, Tom is forced to reconcile the charge of his position, his loyalty to Leo, and the pain in his heart. "What heart?" This episode is the fourth in a short series on a selection of Coen Brothers films screened at the Trylon Cinema in 2019. Theme: "Raindrops" by Huma-Huma/"No Smoking" PSA by John Waters.
