103. Lawyers B Crimin’:Cape Fear (1991)/Carlitos Way (1993)
Top Notch Nonsense Genre Film Podcast Episode 103. Lawyers B Crimin’: Cape Fear (1991)/Carlitos Way (1993)
Its Morals, Ethics, and Bro-Code in this episode where in both movies, Cape Fear (1991) and Carlitos Way (1993), they have lawyers that don’t treat their client all that well. The Other Major thing and what makes this pairing special is that its one director (Scorsese) doing the other’s style while the other one (De-Palma) is using his style to tell a story that Marty would be offered. Doomed Romance in every sense of the word comes up in Carlitos Way. We also have De Niro working with his regular guy Marty and De-Palma working with his regular guy, Pacino. The others movies we also talk about: Another Woman’s Husband, A Working Moms Nightmare, Deadly Sorority, and Killer Assistant.

The two films (The Swimmer, 1968; Eat The Rich, 1987;)we are talking about today have to do with the wealthy and what consequences that they sometimes have to deal with and sometimes they don’t have to deal with It. We also discuss three David Decocteau movies: The Wrong Student, The Wrong Crush, and The Wrong Man. Massively strange and interesting talk about the wealthy and delusional, the deluded and the completely Sickening ugliness that is about the one percent. This is not our first time talking about class warfare and it won’t be the last as all good genre movies can tap into was is essential about our morality, the elite and how they interact with our way of life, often hurting our chances of survival. We also joke about massive children death, What Michael would do as a studio producer billionaire fascist, and how prescient these movies really are. An evergreen topic if there ever was one.

From the publisher's feed
Welcome to Top Notch Nonsense. A Genre Film Review Podcast.
Top Notch Nonsense is a genre film podcast hosted by married couple Michael and Maranda — dedicated to the strange, the screwed-up, the obscure, and the gloriously unhinged corners of cinema history.
Every episode, we pair two films connected by a shared theme, narrative, or filmmaker — then proceed to analyze, moralize, judge, and lovingly shit-talk them in equal measure. We've covered John Waters, Giallo, erotic thrillers, holiday horror, exploitation cinema, B-movies, and a lot of things that probably shouldn't exist but do.
Smart but never pretentious. Hilarious but never shallow. We love what we mock — and we mock what we love. New episodes every Sunday Night/Monday Morning. Come watch the weird stuff with us.
