In this episode, the Mikes descend into the smoky, saxophone-laced world of
Angel Heart, a Southern Gothic neo-noir starring Mickey Rourke as a weary private eye and Robert De Niro as his mysterious client. They unpack the film's surreal horror, slow-burn twist, and vibes-over-plot aesthetic—while also admitting how much of it they missed on first watch. Plus: chicken phobias, Old Bay cocktails, and the largest vat of gumbo in cinema history. Wikipedia page for Angel Heart. Films recommended this episode:
