Episode 193: Abel Ferrara (feat. Bill Ackerman)

<p>One of the best guests you can have on any movie podcast would be Supporting Characters host Bill Ackerman, who returns for a yearly visit, this time to talk about the down & dirty gritty auteur <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel_Ferrara" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Abel Ferrara</a>. Usually for October, we try our best to talk about a horror director and though Ferrara isn't classified as one, you can certainly look at his films as being disturbing with some horrific scenes and well, THE ADDICTION does have vampires after all. Bill saw probably three times as much as I did though I managed to comment on about ten titles throughout the conversation. The ones everyone has likely seen are what we talk about at length including MS. 45, KING OF NEW YORK, BAD LIEUTENANT, TOMMASO and more! In addition, for the what we watched segment, Bill reviews WHEEL OF FORTUNE AND FANTASY and I bring up I bring up Mia Hansen-Love’s BERGMAN ISLAND.</p> <p>00:00 - 08:22 - Introduction<br /> 08:23 - 31:59 - What We Watched Recently<br /> 32:00 - 02:00:14 - Early Ferrara (up to <em>The Addiction</em>)<br /> 02:00:15 - 02:56:44 - Middle To Recent Ferrara<br /> 02:56:45 - 03:02:57 - Top Ferrara Films / Outro</p> <p>Check out Bill's podcast:<br /> <a href= "https://nowplayingnetwork.net/supportingcharacters">https://nowplayingnetwork.net/supportingcharacters</a></p> <p>Follow Bill on Letterboxd:<br /> <a href= "https://letterboxd.com/billackerman">https://letterboxd.com/billackerman</a></p> <p>Ranked Letterboxd List For This Episode:<br /> <a href= "https://letterboxd.com/jimlaczkowski/list/episode-193-abel-ferrara"> https://letterboxd.com/jimlaczkowski/list/episode-193-abel-ferrara</a></p> <p> </p>
