The Rewatch Party 241 - Millers Crossing (1990)

We’re FINALY back to the queue.   Are you angry, punching someone, or in a mob negotiation?  Then Millers Crossing may be right for you.  It's a beautiful, chaotic, slang-riddled escape where everyone looks great in a hat and absolutely no one uses language the way the rest of the planet agreed English should work.  The politics are murky, the violence is constant, and half the characters sound like they were raised by bootleggers and crossword puzzles. Anthony discovers Steve Buscemi was once young enough to pass for a regular human.  Elise wonders if this is a good fit for her headspace.  Nick considers pooping someone.  Together we attempt to solve the film’s greatest mystery: how many coats, hats, and suspenders can one man wear while still being considered sexually available? So grab your hat, your emotional support bottle of whiskey, and your questionable life choices, because Miller’s Crossing has been sitting in the queue long enough and Fair Weather Geoff deserves closure. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100150/
