Summary
Harvey Keitel’s Charlie tries to keep the peace in Scorsese’s deeply personal third feature .
Episode Description
Lucky McKee's new film, Old Man, is the latest in a career of character-driven horror favorites like May, The Woman, and All Cheerleaders Die. And in this episode, he's sharing his personal resonance with Charlie, the main character in Scorsese's Mean Streets (1973). In a powder keg of rough men always threatening to go off in a burst of violence, Charlie (played by Harvey Keitel) is a mediator who can't quite explain why he feels compelled to vouch for certain friends.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the LA premiere of Give Me an A!
