Listen Later

We are joined by comedian and director Michael Patrick Jann (of The State and Michael Patrick Jann Can’t Direct Traffic) to discuss director Bill Forsyth’s Local Hero. A film where oil tycoon Felix Happer (Burt Lancaster) tells Mac Macintyre (Peter Riegert) to go convince Urquhart (Dennis Lawson) and the other inhabitants of a small Scottish coastal town to sell out.
