We get into the film’s blend of memory and myth, the way it turns childhood trauma into a lifelong reckoning, and why its mix of Catholic guilt, street‑corner loyalty, and institutional rot still hits with the force of a confession whispered too late. 🎬 🎙️Support the showFind me on X (Twitter) and Instagram @vitophone or thegatesofcimino.comhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2047429/supportThis episode brought to you by Vitophone.
