Ep 22: Alphabet City (1984) with Jonathan Hertzberg

Fun City Editions honcho Jonathan Hertzberg joins us to herald his new imprint’s maiden release—an astounding collector’s edition Blu-ray of Amos Poe’s ALPHABET CITY, starring Vincent Spano.

Hear all about Poe’s punk/No Wave roots; Spano’s range from OVER THE EDGE to the 1988 version of AND GOD CREATED WOMAN; the heinous allure of brilliantly art-directed East Village dope dens, both on screen and off; the incomparable ’70s porn knowledge of Vinegar Syndrome’s teenage-era Joe Rubin; and what’s next for Fun City (Jenny Agutter fans—which should mean everyone—prepare yourselves).
