Ep. 5: Bootlegger Double Bill- Little Caesar & The Public Enemy

Zach welcomes podcasters and brew masters Andrew Sanders and Tyler Maybee (Pop Culture Brews) to revel in the Beer and Blood that surrounds a tough as nails 1931 double bill of ‘Little Caesar’ and ‘The Public Enemy’.

Pull up a chair and listen as the boys suss out which of the films holds up the best, the traditions they started that carry on in modern Gangster films, the power of off screen violence, the importance of religion in the gangster film, and the overriding arch of men like Rico Bandello and Tom Powers. You’ll also be indulged with the levity of such topics as how the Safety Dance would work as a soundtrack to Little Caesar, whether or not Sgt. Flaherty is awake or asleep, the truth behind the actors in The Godfather, and James Cagney creating modern employee safety protocols.

Plus: Lots of Scorsese talk.
