In this episode of the show we are adding the third instalment into our Elaine May May where we talk about her 1976 Mikey and Nicky. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the arduous and crisis-laden production history of this movie, how Elaine May channeled the spirit of rogue indie filmmaking and how her movie works as a bridge between Cassavetes and Scorsese. We also dive deep into the metaphorical plane of the movie and talk about it as an anti-gangster picture, a companion piece to The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, Husbands and Mean Streets and also wonder what it tells us about Elaine May’s own relationship with the moviemaking business.

Tune in and enjoy!
