Ep. 11 King of New York (1990)

"No blackjack, no dope deals, no nothing. A nickle bag gets sold in the park, I want in."

Abel Ferrara deftly shoots a grim but compelling tale where the bad guy actually wants to be good…just using his gangster techniques and money to build hospital and renovate a neighborhood, with his eyes on running for Mayor. Unfortunately, a frustrated group of cops decide the try and use his own methods against…with disastrous results. Tune in to hear Chris get all wistful and shit over purchasing this film, progressive villainy, and getting hungry listening to Laurence Fishburne order food as the LSCE screens the 1990 complex crime film “King of New York.” Join Us.
