Fat City

from Fifteen Minute Film Fanatics · host Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics

What's the last film you watched during which you had a good time feeling bad?  Mike and Dan discuss John Huston's Fat City (1972), a film that feels like a steady drunk and which makes the viewer awaken with a sadness hangover. But they also love the movie and talk about how Huston never allows it to veer into a romantic tale of lost souls but, instead, offers his viewers a portrait of people who are living through the death of promise. "Maybe everybody's happy," one of the characters says. Maybe not. Whatever you think, after you spar at the Y, give this a listen: you can count on us.   Please subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on YouTube, Twitter and Letterboxd.
