Ep 4.32 - Simple Men [w/special guest Brian Flota!l]

In our second installment of Hartleyfest, we welcome very special guest Dr. Brian Flota on to talk Simple Men (1992).
The third installment in Hartley's so-called Long Island Trilogy, Simple Men follows brothers Bill and Dennis on their search for their father who has recently escaped from prison.
Along the way they encounter hijinks, hard truths, a busted clutch assembly and women who challenge them.
The two of them I mean. The womens don't challenge clutch assemblies.
At least not on camera...
