Episode 400: To Live and Die Breathlessly
Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress on this week’s physical media roundup. They include 4K releases from Godard, Scorsese and Boetticher. Are any of the stories from Four Rooms worth revisiting? Peter unveils an appreciation for one of the great endings in film while Erik discusses HBO’s acclaimed video game adaptation. You also get Gena Rowlands in an Oscar-nominated performance, Roy Scheider fighting off sleazy blackmailers, a bizarre pre-Lethal Weapon partnering and one of the great William Friedkin movies getting the upgrade it deserves.

Elmore Leonard
Er ist der "King of Cool", ohne ihn hätte es möglicherweise Tarantino-Filme niemals gegeben: Elmore Leonard, Meister der lässigen-lustigen Dialoge und Plot-Wendungen. Mit ihm rede ich über den besten deutschsprachigen Noir-Autor und früheren Drehbuchautor Frank Göhre.
George V. Higgins
Elmore Leonard sagte über Higgins' "Die Freunde von Eddie Coyle" es sei der beste Kriminalroman, der jemals geschrieben wurde. Denis Lehane bezeichnete ihn als "the game changing crime novel of the last fifty years". Ist George V. Higgins wirklich so gut? Und welche Rolle spielen die Verfilmungen seiner Romane? Darüber rede ich mit Drehbuchautor Denis Kundic.
"Get Shorty" MMC
"Get Shorty" comes to the club and fellow comics Kirk Smith and Carl Guerra are here to discuss it all with Host & Corporate Comedian Steve Mazan.
Is this the best Elmore Leonard adapatation?
Who shines brightest in the ensemble?
Did the sequel suck?
Was Travolta ever cooler?
All these questions and more get answered on this week's Mazan Movie Club Podcast.
