Episode 166: Bancroft and Hard-Workin’ Men

The first new episode of the new year and new decade focuses on a crop of titles from just a few studios and one legendary actress. That would be the great Anne Bancroft who has a wonderful new collection out from Shout Factory. Erik and Sergio Mims also look at films starring everyone from Lloyd Bridges to Ethan Hawke as well as a cornucopia of titles from Kino including the first film from Rian Johnson, a history of the Silence of the Lambs sequel, going to bat for a Charlie Sheen film and ultimately reaping praise on what they believe to be one of the great American films from Paul Schrader.
