Steven Spielberg tried his hand at a Twilight Zone-ish series in 1985 that didn't exactly set the ratings world on fire, but would prove to be formative for a whole generation of imaginative kids. Amazing Stories brought in a combination of seasoned pros like Scorsese and Clint Eastwood and exciting, young talent, including today's guest, writer and filmmaker Mick Garris. Mick became famous for his Stephen King adaptations like The Stand and The Shining mini-series, but it was Steven Spielberg who gave him his first shot, first writing a few episodes on the first season of Amazing Stories, and then acting as head writer overseeing all the scripts coming in before eventually giving him a chance at directing an episode in Season 2. Mick makes his first appearance on The Spiel talking about his time on Amazing Stories, collaborating with Spielberg, and writing for people like Martin Scorsese and Joe Dante.

THE STUCKMANIZED INTERVIEW!! From YouTube Critic to Horror Director! Why He Quit Reviewing "Bad" Movies & the Personal Trauma That Inspired SHELBY OAKS. — Greg Alba sits down with Chris Stuckmann for one of our most personal, craft-focused conversations yet. We cover the full journey from YouTube film critic to feature filmmaker, the decision to stop reviewing movies he dislikes (and the rise of “performative mocking” online), and how fatherhood and a former religious background (ex–Jehovah's Witness) shaped his storytelling. We dig into SHELBY OAKS (theatrical release Oct 24, with early Thurs night shows Oct 23): inspirations like Lake Mungo and Noroi: The Curse, why Japanese horror gets under the skin, M. Night Shyamalan's influence (faith vs. fear), and how Chris writes with the edit/shot list in mind. Production talk galore: 20-day indie shoot in Ohio, a year of prep, DP Andrew Baird, why the First AC (focus puller) is the unsung set hero, PAs saving the day, and how star Camille Sullivan (Hunter Hunter) elevated scenes so intensely the chest mic captured her heartbeat; plus working with Sarah Durn and Keith David (The Thing, They Live). Industry context: Mike Flanagan producing, NEON distributing, The Newton Brothers scoring, festival reactions (Fantastic Fest, LA premiere), and how being on set changed the way Chris now reads reviews and watches indie films. We also hit fun stuff: Metal Gear Solid directional-mic jokes, Tarantino vs. Scorsese-style self-watching, first horror clips he'll show his kids (Jaws, Jurassic Park moments), comic-book horror he'd love to tackle (Clayface, Scarface, Scarecrow), and why he still feels like “a guy from Ohio who got it done.” If you're into horror filmmaking, YouTube career arcs, screenwriting, directing, faith and art, or modern indie distribution, this one's for you.

Sean and Amanda return to continue their yearlong project of listing the 25 best movies of the 21st century so far. Today, they discuss Martin Scorsese's ‘The Wolf of Wall Street,' starring Leonardo DiCaprio, a manic, exhilarating, wretched celebration of the worst people on earth set loose on an unwitting society. They explain why this was the official selection from Scorsese's filmography, crown this as the greatest performance of DiCaprio's entire career, and explore the infamous discourse revolving around whether or not the movie glorified its nefarious behavior.

Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver & Raging Bull are widely considered two of the best films of their era that were made in America. He and Robert DeNiro were a powerhouse creative team and they're still considered one of the all-time great collaborations in the history of the medium. This makes it curious that the film that they made together in between these monumental classics, 1977's New York, New York, has been largely forgotten and left out of the conversation.We're seeking to remedy that with our episode this week and we are happy to be joined by film enthusiast and historian Jim Hemphill. Jim has loved the film since he saw as a young film student and he brings some wonderful and personal insights to the discussion. In the episode we cover:Why directors and actors are often poor judges of their own workJim's early days in LA and getting to meet folks like Samuel Fuller, Billy Wilder, Budd Boetticher, and Blake EdwardsThe power of laserdiscs (and physical media in general) to develop and nurture generations of movie loversMarty's balance of strengths in having the talents of a classical studio director alongside the passions of an independent auteur The fact that NYNY may be Scorsese's only film (beyond his "faith trilogy") where the protagonist experiences genuine growthAnd more!Buy New York, New York Limited Edition Blu-RaySubstantive Cinema Episode ListJim's IndieWire article on NYNYBlu-ray Commentaries with Jim and his wife: The Golden Child and Navy SealsShoutouts:The Smashing MachineOne Battle After AnotherDexter: ResurrectionFollow Jim:InstagramIndieWireFollow Us:InstagramThreadsPhilip's LetterboxdBlueSkyShare Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod

What do wax museums, Twin Peaks, wolf-men, MTV, S&M sex, the Amiga 1000, and the the invisible man have in common, outside of captivating America? Anthony Hickox's 1988 debut feature, Waxwork! In the newest edition of BOP n' A Movie's commentary series on the history of cinematic wax, the crew looks at an entry that may not be the brightest stick on the candelabra, but maybe the most fun. Starring Zach “from Gremlins” Galligan, David “that TGRI Guy” Warner, and Dana “I didn't kill my girlfriend, Laura Palmer” Ashbrook, this gloriously cheesy Sci-Fi Network favorite uses the museum format to take its cast on a journey through time and space to rival Doctor Who… which is appropriate considering how Warner is dressed. But will Cody survive his latest wax drink? And will they just keep the recorder on while they watch Waxwork II: It's About Time?

Buckle up for guest Cliff Froehlich's pick, Martin Scorsese's landmark 1976 film Taxi Driver, with a hall-of-fame performance from Robert DeNiro. The great St. Louis film-scene leader guides Andrew and Josh through his cinematic upbringing in St. Louis and the morally murky streets of Scorsese's scuzzy NYC. Despite all that, do Andrew and Josh think Taxi Driver belongs in the Take-Up's pantheon? After they answer that burning question, they'll recommend One More Thing with Jia Zhang-ke's Caught by the Tides, and Stephen King's From a Buick 8. Next week Andrew and Josh continue talking King, going long on the latest big-screen adaptation of his work, The Long Walk.Read on at TheTake-Up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

This week, hosts Kristy Puchko (Entertainment Editor at Mashable) and Jeff Rauseo (film lover, movie marathoner, and the guy who treats every underdog story like Game 7 of the World Series) are stepping onto the field for a deep dive into the wide world of sports movies. From boxing rings to BMX tracks, buzzer beaters to underdog triumphs, this episode celebrates the stories that make us cheer, cringe, and occasionally cry into our rally towels. Kristy and Jeff's picks range from gritty Oscar winners and cult comedies to overlooked indies and political docs that prove sports are never just a game. Whether you love the strategy of the ring, the heartbreak of the playoffs, or the sheer joy of a training montage, there's something here for every fan. Follow Kristy on Instagram @thekristypuchko and Letterboxd @kristypuchko. Follow Jeff on Instagram, TikTok, and Letterboxd @jeffrauseo. Follow Kanopy on Letterboxd to see the full episode list. Stream the films we mention for free at kanopy.com with a library card or university ID from a participating institution. Episode Highlights 00:45 — Childhood Sports Favorites Jeff remembers The Mighty Ducks as the ultimate underdog story, while Kristy shares a hometown connection to the cult hockey comedy Slap Shot (1977). 04:10 — Raging Bull (1980) Kristy dives into Scorsese's black-and-white boxing classic and the brutal portrait of Jake LaMotta's life in and out of the ring. 06:20 — Game 6 (2005) Jeff spotlights Michael Keaton's overlooked indie about Broadway anxiety, Red Sox heartbreak, and how sports can mirror life's biggest failures and triumphs. 09:40 — Not Just a Game (2010) Kristy highlights this doc about the intersection of sports and politics—from Muhammad Ali to Michael Jordan, and even the bizarre hysteria over “bicycle face.” 13:50 — The Fighter (2010) Jeff brings it back to his hometown with this Oscar-winning boxing drama starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale, praising its authentic portrayal of Lowell, Massachusetts. 17:40 — Shaolin Soccer (2001) Kristy lightens the mood with Stephen Chow's kung fu-meets-soccer comedy, a chaotic, heartwarming, and hilarious parody of the underdog formula. 21:10 — Rad (1986) Jeff takes a neon-soaked trip back to the ‘80s with this BMX cult favorite, packed with cheesy fun, adrenaline-fueled stunts, and a killer soundtrack. 24:00 — Bonus Pick: BMX Bandits (1983) Kristy tosses in Nicole Kidman's early Aussie adventure, complete with bikes, walkie-talkies, and criminals on the chase.
Gather your bolt pistols and money satchels, friend-os! Andrew's pick for the film that made him a cinephile is the Coen Brothers' violent noir/western No Country for Old Men. He and Joshua partake in a ramble about evil, age, philosophy, movie tattoos, and most importantly, which one of them lost the most out of a coin toss (spoiler: it was Andrew). And then stayed tuned as they bring up One More Thing, going into the apocalyptic zoo novel The Island of Lost Things by Emma Sloley and the latest Big Thief album Double Infinity. Next week, special guest and The Take-Up contributor Cliff Froelich guides the hosts out of the west and into the dark, scuzzy streets of 70s New York with Taxi Driver, the classic Scorsese thriller that led to Froelich's own cinematic awakening. Let's hope that was the only thing that movie inspired him to become.Read on at TheTake-Up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

En este nuevo episodio de Estamos de Cine cambiamos de pantalla: dejamos la grande para sumergirnos en la pequeña. Repasamos las series que han marcado el verano de 2025 con un "Súper Filtro Rachel" cargado de títulos imprescindibles: la esperada temporada de Miércoles, la dureza de Mobland, la comedia deportiva de Stick: Cracks del golf y la desconcertante producción española Furia. Un episodio pensado para seriéfilos que no quieren perder detalle de lo que se cuece en la televisión y las plataformas Min 4: MIÉRCOLES: LOS ADAMS RETUERCEN SU ESENCIA La segunda entrega de Miércoles confirma el fenómeno global que Netflix alumbró en 2022. La joven heredera de la familia Addams, encarnada de nuevo por Jenna Ortega, regresa a la Academia Nunca Más para enfrentarse a un verano seriéfilo marcado por misterios más oscuros, giros sobrenaturales y un retrato aún más ácido de la adolescencia. Tim Burton mantiene la atmósfera gótica y la ironía corrosiva, pero la serie busca ahora mayor madurez narrativa, combinando thriller juvenil y comentario social con una estética que vuelve a hipnotizar. NOTA EDC SERIES: 3,75 Min 13: "MOBLAND: TIERRA DE MAFIOSOS" ¿LA SERIE DEL AÑO? El desenlace de Mobland cumple con lo prometido: una inmersión sin concesiones en los códigos de la mafia contemporánea, donde la lealtad y la traición conviven en cada plano. La serie, que arrancó como un retrato coral de familias enfrentadas por el control del negocio, alcanza en su último capítulo un clímax de violencia contenida y pactos imposibles. Con ecos del cine clásico de Scorsese y Coppola, pero adaptada al ritmo de las plataformas actuales, Mobland despide su temporada consolidándose como una de las propuestas más intensas y adictivas del año. NOTA EDC SERIES: 4 estrellas Min 18: FURIA: LA SENSACIÓN ESPAÑOLA DEL VERANO La ficción española Furia se ha convertido en uno de los títulos más desconcertantes y comentados del verano. Con un tono que oscila entre el thriller psicológico y el drama social, la serie explora el lado más oscuro de las emociones humanas y la violencia soterrada que late en nuestro entorno cotidiano. Su narrativa fragmentada, cargada de simbolismo y de atmósferas opresivas, desafía al espectador con un juego constante entre lo real y lo imaginado. No es una propuesta fácil ni busca serlo: Furia apuesta por incomodar, por sacudir conciencias y por abrir debate sobre el miedo, la rabia y la fragilidad de las certezas. NOTA EDC SERIS: 3,5 estrellas Min 27: "STICKS: CRACKS DEL GOLF": BUENROLLISMO A LO TED LASSO La comedia deportiva de Apple TV+ cierra su primera etapa confirmando que el golf también puede ser terreno fértil para el humor ácido y el retrato generacional. Stick: Cracks del Golf despide temporada con un episodio que mezcla lo disparatado y lo entrañable, jugando tanto con la sátira del mundo elitista del deporte como con la evolución personal de sus protagonistas. El desenlace mantiene la frescura y el ritmo irreverente que han convertido a la serie en una sorpresa de la temporada, a la vez que siembra dudas y expectativas sobre el futuro de sus personajes dentro y fuera del green. Un cierre divertido y con más de un guiño a la cultura pop que consolida la serie como comedia ligera pero con pegada. NOTA EDC SERIES: 3,5 estrellas Min 33: "DOS TUMBAS". Thriller de catálogo made in Netflix Dos tumbas, creada por Agustín Martínez y escrita bajo el seudónimo Carmen Mola, es un thriller de intriga ambientado en la costa malagueña que impacta por su intensidad dramática en apenas tres episodios. En él, la abuela Isabel (una imponente Kiti Mánver) se convierte en investigadora fronteriza cuando sus nieta y su amiga desaparecen sin respuestas oficiales. Lo que comienza como una indagación desesperada se transforma en una implacable cruzada de venganza, donde la justicia paralela amenaza con devorar a quien la busca. NOTA EDC SERIES: 2,5 estrellas MIN 39: NOVEDADES Y ESTRENOS:THE RUNAROUND (Prime Video) Prime Video desembarca este septiembre con The Runarounds, una serie juvenil musical creada por Jonas Pate (co-creador de Outer Banks). Con sus ocho episodios disponibles desde el primer día—estrenados el 1 de septiembre de 2025—la ficción plantea un verano crucial en Wilmington, Carolina del Norte. NOTA EDC: 3,5 estrellas MIN 43: MONTECRISTO (MOVISTAR +) ¿QUIÉN HA HECHO ESTO? Montecristo propone una versión contemporánea del clásico de Alexandre Dumas al trasladar la venganza del mítico Conde a las altas esferas del capitalismo global. William Levy encarna a Alejandro Montecristo, un carismático empresario cubano fundador de una startup tecnológica que irrumpe en la élite madrileña con una fortuna envuelta en misterio. En realidad, es Edmundo Dantés, traicionado y dado por muerto, de regreso para ajustar cuentas tras dos décadas. NOTAS EDC SERIES: 1 estrella MIN 46: "FALSO AMOR Y VENGANZA" (NETFLIX) also amor y venganza se distancia del formato pasivo de su antecesor (El Estafador de Tinder) para adoptar una narrativa activa y empoderadora. La docuserie despliega seis episodios de aproximadamente 40 minutos que siguen a Cecilie Fjellhøy —víctima emblemática del timador Simon Leviev— y a la investigadora privada Brianne Joseph en su cruzada por ayudar a otras víctimas de estafas románticas a recuperar sus vidas, su dignidad y, sobre todo, cerrar heridas profundas. Min 48: LA MEJOR BSO DE SERIE DEL VERANO PARA ÁNGEL LUQUE Nuestro experto en series, Anagle Luque, pone la aguja en el tocadiscos del verano para repasar las ficciones más sonadas y elegir la banda sonora que mejor lo ha definido. ¿Habrá que apostar por el pulso criminal de Mobland: Tierra de Mafiosos? ¿Se impondrá la oscuridad magnética de Miércoles? ¿O nos sorprenderá con una joya escondida en el catálogo infinito de las plataformas? Sea cual sea la respuesta, lo que está claro es que las series vuelven a escena. Subimos el telón y damos comienzo al 3x01 de Estamos de Cine – Edición Series en Radio Castilla-La Mancha.

For the final installment of our Summer of Sam series, Dave, Eric, and Brandon dive into Martin Scorsese's Casino. While the casting choices might feel like the “safe bet” for this director, the acting across the board is still phenomenal and had us hooked. We talk about the film's hefty runtime, its lackluster ending, and how its ultimate message is one of self-destruction—everyone in this story creates their own downfall. We also reflect on how Vegas itself has changed, no longer resembling the gritty, glamorous world Scorsese captured on screen. Despite its flaws, Casino is a movie everyone should see, and we had a blast breaking it all down.Stick around until the end for a round of Movie 20 Questions!Eyyyyyy, watch your self out there, nomads!
The Brow Month comes to a roaring, chaotic close with The Wolf of Wall Street, Martin Scorsese's three-hour carnival of excess, corruption, and quaaludes.We dive into DiCaprio's unhinged performance, Jonah Hill's teeth, Margot Robbie's breakout role, and why this film feels like Marty cutting loose in the wildest way possible. It's loud, it's offensive, it's hilarious, and it's undeniably Scorsese.We also want to note that our good friend Carlos M. De La Torre wasn't able to join us for this episode—he was missed at the table (and probably would've had the best Belfort impression).It's been one hell of a month, and we're closing it out at full throttle.
Beloved for decades of iconic performances, Billy Crystal has left an indelible mark on comedy and film. In this chat from December 2024, Billy sits down with Willie at NYU Tisch's Jack Crystal Theater, named for his late father, to reflect on his time studying under Martin Scorsese, the enduring legacy of When Harry Met Sally, and his acclaimed series, Before.
The Brow Month takes a surprising (and elegant) turn as we dive into The Age of Innocence, Martin Scorsese's lush adaptation of Edith Wharton's tale of love, restraint, and high-society daggers hidden behind polite smiles.This week, we unpack Scorsese's meticulous eye for detail, the heartbreaking performances from Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder, and why this “costume drama” still bleeds with the same intensity as his gangster films.Less blood, more lace—but make no mistake, Marty's still cutting deep.
In this episode of Spitball Media Podcast, we dive deep into the unsettling world of Weapons, unpack the first season of FX's sci-fi drama Alien Earth, and compare the directorial styles of Zach Cregger and Osgood Perkins. We also catch up on what we've been watching lately and break down the trailers for some highly anticipated films and documentaries, including AKA Charlie Sheen, Mr. Scorsese, Dreameater, Marty Supreme, Witchboard, and Americana. Whether you're into horror, sci-fi, or cinematic deep cuts, this episode is for you.
Our summer tradition at Here’s the Thing continues, as staff members choose their favorite conversations from the archives for our Summer Staff Pick series. This week, we revisit Alec’s conversation with Thelma Schoonmaker, the legendary editor behind every Martin Scorsese film since Raging Bull. Known for her warm, unassuming presence, Schoonmaker has shaped some of cinema’s most intense and iconic moments—earning three Academy Awards and seven nominations along the way. She talks to Here’s the Thing host Alec Baldwin about Scorsese’s pet peeves, what it’s like to “create” violence, and the woman she credits with giving her the “greatest life in the world.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Brow Month rolls on as we head back to where it all started—Mean Streets, Martin Scorsese's gritty, raw, and deeply personal dive into the New York underworld. This is Scorsese before the Oscars, before the epics—just restless energy, street-level drama, and a young De Niro already stealing scenes.We break down the film's rough-edged charm, the Catholic guilt simmering under the surface, and how Mean Streets planted the seeds for everything from Goodfellas to The Irishman.It's messy, it's loud, it's pure Scorsese—and the brows are already in full power mode.

Old Cinema! New Cinema! Here they are, together! Ellis and Corbs talk about "Hugo," Martin Scorsese's honestly conspicously excellent family movie about a an orphan, a great filmmaker, and the open wounds of World War One. Topics: how exactly is Scorsese so good at making a special effects extravaganza, the 3D moment, fated to fail, color, and Scorsese's ability to bring a wide range of techniques to the table.

(Airdaate: 8.7.25) Lindsay Lohan wants to trade in teen comedies for a shot at Scorsese—because Mean Girls to Martin is totally a natural jump. Meanwhile, J.Lo's Vegas residency isn't exactly selling like hotcakes, unless those hotcakes are $1,300 a seat and still available. And Jamie Lee Curtis drops a hilariously unfiltered red carpet greeting on Allison Janney that proves even Hollywood legends have no chill—in the best way. Voted 6th Best Entertainment News Podcast!

This week on The WatchTower Film Podcast, we're officially launching The Brow Month—our deep dive into the wild, legendary world of Martin Scorsese. And there's no better place to start than Goodfellas—the mob movie that redefined the genre (and the tracking shot).We break down the film's electric style, unforgettable characters, cocaine-fueled chaos, and why Scorsese's fingerprints are all over modern cinema. From freeze frames to mob betrayals, it's fast, funny, brutal, and endlessly rewatchable.Just don't ask how many takes the Copacabana shot took. We're talkin' here.
Box Office Pulp | Film Analysis, Movie Retrospectives, Commentary Tracks, Comedy, and More
Get ready to pour yourself a cocktail, put on an old opera record, and inject yourself with a chemical compound that stretches the bounds of death in a terrifying fusion of science and art, because the crew at Box Office Pulp is back on their wax bullshit with a commentary track for Sergio Stivaletti's Fulci-by-another-name fable, 1997's Wax Mask. The legendary special effects master responsible for the Demons franchise only ever directed a single feature, and this slasher by way of a giallo by way of a Wax Museum mystery has been unfairly forgotten by even the most stalwart horror faithfuls. Listen to the tale of Dario Argento's last boon to a dying frenemy, a museum owner driven by heartbreak to murder and mad science, and a dubbing track that descended into pure, unfiltered Italiano.So remove your mesh mask to reveal your wax mask to reveal your robot(?) skull by listening now!https://www.boxofficepulp.com/Listen on Apple: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/appleListen on Spotify: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/spotifyListen on Amazon: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/amazonAll The OTHER Ways to Listen: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/listenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Follow on Twiter/X: https://x.com/BoxOfficePulp

In this fantastic episode of The Artists podcast, we are joined by the legendary Sir David Sterritt—renowned film critic and scholar, celebrated for his extensive writings on Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, and more recently, Martin Scorsese. Sterritt, who previously appeared in Episode 89 where we explored Hitchcock, Godard, and Kiarostami (a must-listen if you haven’t already!), returns to unpack the essence of Pure Cinema—a term often used but rarely understood in its full cinematic depth. He’s written for esteemed publications like MovieMaker, Sight and Sound, and Cinéaste, and his insights offer a compelling journey through both classic and modern film thinking.
Episode Notes In this episode of Workplace Hugs, Shannon and Rami explore how the revolutionary filmmakers of the 1970s - like Scorsese, Spielberg, and Coppola - transformed Hollywood by taking creative risks and challenging studio authority. They discuss what modern creatives can learn about balancing artistic vision with commercial success, and why collaboration beats ego every time.
Topics covered include: Steven Soderbergh's greatest commentary tracks, the first Mission Impossible as a perfect film, writing movies for actors not executives, Ari telling Bill the idea for Eddington outside of an Italian restaurant, Bill laughing at the sound of Toni Collette's head falling off in Hereditary, being intuitive and impulsive, David Lynch as a great spiritual teacher, using genre film as a shield, Ari's deep research process in New Mexico before making Eddington, the genius comedy of Christopher Morris, walking into the meat grinder, unmade horror scripts, Bill's cameo in Beau is Afraid, going beyond the breaking point, Steven Spielberg as the king of shot sequencing, childhood obsession with screenplays, Sturges on Sturges, Bill filming shorts as a kid with his sister in Tulsa, meeting Scorsese at SNL, and 50+ films that shaped them.

As chatbots continue to evolve, Lesley Stahl reports from Nairobi, Kenya, on the growing market of “humans in the loop” – workers around the world who help train AI for big American tech companies. Stahl speaks with digital workers who have spent hours in front of screens teaching and improving AI, but complain of poor working conditions, low pay and undertreated psychological trauma. Correspondent Jon Wertheim journeys by boat (and winch) into the world's smallest – and unlikeliest – state: the Principality of Sealand. Just off the English coast, and roughly the landmass of two tennis courts, it boasts a full-time population of one. It was built during World War II as a nautical fort, and later repurposed as a “pirate radio” station under its monarchs, the Bates family. Wertheim takes a tour of this micronation and its history of piracy, coups, countercoups and rogues. The name Werner Herzog may not be as recognizable as Spielberg or Scorsese, but over the last six decades, the German filmmaker has had a profound and far-reaching influence on the world of cinema. He's made over 70 features and documentaries, which are often dream-like explorations of nature's power, human frailties and the edges of sanity. Correspondent Anderson Cooper sits down with the enigmatic director to discuss his films, and his other roles as writer and actor.

If the Western is the godfather of American cinema, then the crime film is its son.
