95: The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976) and The Merry Gentleman (2008)

Published: Nov. 10, 2021, 2 a.m.

On the latest Two for the Road: Movies with Matt and Adam, Noir-vember continues with one masterpiece and one piece of god awful. Matt and Adam loved John Cassavete's "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" (1976) so much, they both consider it a masterpiece. It's unique, refreshing and never boring. Ben Gazzara was born to play Cosmo Vittelli. Did I mention how good it is? Check it out if you can find it. Michael Keaton's directorial debut, "The Merry Gentleman" (2008) is terrible and no one should see it.

Next, Noir-vember moves onward with Orson Welles' "Touch of Evil" (1958) and "Bad Times at the El Royale" (2018).

Thanks for listening!
