Tune in as Arthur’s pal Kate returns to the program for a review and recap of After Hours, the 1985 Martin Scorsese film that plunges you into an overnight odyssey whose ridiculous hijinks can be darkly comedic one moment and genuinely terrifying the next. The movie’s symbolic focus on gender politics and emasculation, a scene that’s borrowed straight from a Franz Kafka parable, and Kate getting flabbergasted by the revelation that Arthur (at the time of recording) had never seen anything with one of the biggest starlets of classic Hollywood comprise a few of the topics that pop up in this cinephilic episode.

Directed by Martin Scorsese, After Hours stars Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, John Heard, Tommy Chong, Cheech Marin, Catherine O’Hara, Will Patton, Verna Bloom, and Larry Block.
