This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas head to the Bronx in the 1960s to hear a tale about a young man choosing between the grind of a working man or the living the high life as a slick gangster. Guess what we learned? The working man is a sucker, and Mickey Mantle ain't gonna pay your rent!
Next up in the Filaversary arc, is the 1993 coming-of-age gangster movie, A BRONX TALE, written by Chazz Palminteri and the directorial debut of Robert De Niro. Each of these powerhouse actors also star in the movie, based on the real life experiences of Palminteri growing up in the Bronx.
Join us, as we break down how this film got made, compare it to other Gangster classics of the time, go down the rabbit hole of Mobsters with YouTube channels and dive into how life imitates art, as we dig into some of the unfortunate real life stories behind one of the actors.
"You can be anything you want to be. Remember, the saddest thing in life is wasted talent."
