We’re kicking off a month of discussing comedy films with a look at Martin Scorsese's After Hours (1985). When The Last Temptation of Christ was put in turnaround again, producers Griffin Dunne and Amy Robinson approached Martin Scorsese about helming a Kafkaesque story about a yuppie stuck in Soho by first-time screenwriter Joseph Minion. Originally called Lies, Dunne would go on to star as Paul Hackett, surrounded by an amazing cast of characters.

Chris Stachiw and Tim Luz join Mike to discuss one of Scorsese's more unusual films and the controversy surrounding it.
