Ep 82: Mikey and Nicky
Manage episode 275364660 series 2297103
Nate and Ryan watch an under-seen gem in Elaine May’s curve ball of a gangster movie, Mikey and Nicky. The story of the making of the movie is almost as quietly legendary as the film itself, as May shot an unbelievable 1 million feet of film and took 3 years editing the movie while her studio waited impatiently. The resulting movie is unlike anything before or since: a tense, funny, sad night spent with tense, funny, unlikable, deep, and enduring characters. Listen in as Nate and Ryan discuss the highs and lows of a movie that should be more widely known.
Have you seen Mikey and Nicky? Where does it rank among gangster movies for you? Would you even call this a gangster movie? Where does Ned Beatty rank among movie assassins? Let us know!
Also, if you’re stuck at home (as you should be) check out our Quarantine Stay at Home/Stream at Home page where you can see what movies from our archives are available on popular streaming services. Let’s watch some movies together!
