Andrew and special guest, writer and director Adam Seccafico, dive deep into the ultra-controversial, gritty indie classic, Bad Lieutenant, from 1992. Written and directed by Abel Ferrara, this raw and uncompromising character study of a corrupt New York City law enforcer descending into madness might just leave you wanting to hug a teddy bear by the end!
Andrew and Adam cover such topics as which scenes disturbed them the most and why, the questionable spirituality of the protagonist, whether or not the notorious scenes are even necessary, thoughts on the striking arc of the protagonist, the ultimate thesis of this difficult film, and much more.
