Today’s episode is all about grimy New York movies from the mid-20th century. So much was going on in that small stretch of the city and movies made in that time and place show it off so well. My guest is film historian and writer Samm Deighan, an expert on cult cinema and one of those people who really seem to have watched it all! You’ll hear about Times Square history, psychotronic cinema, and Samm’s list of films that best depict this iconic era.
