Episode 668: Is That A Duck In Your Pocket?
Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski take you through another week of physical media that includes three bangers from Criterion including Paul Newman at his baddest, early Scorsese and the Neil Jordan twist that rocked the world. There are gunslingers and hit men, William Wyler and Marlene Dietrich and one of the great modern sitcoms in a new set. Plus it is the 40th anniversary of one of the most infamous flops of the 1980s. Time for a reappraisal or is it still as baffling as ever?
