Episode 083: After Hours & Bringing Out The Dead

Martini Giant

Tonight MG has a Scorsese double feature - but it's possible that many listeners have never even heard of these two films, let alone seen them, as they are often lost in the director's flood of classics! First up is After Hours from 1985, featuring the underrated Griffin Dunne as a beige-souled corporate desk jockey who finds himself stuck in a Kafkaesque nightmare version of the SoHo art scene, and then we follow it up with another crazed journey through NYC, as a wild-eyed and sleep-deprived Nicholas Cage works as an EMT in Bringing Out the Dead!
