This week on the podcast, One Crazy Night Month rolls on with a deep dive into Martin Scorsese’s 1985 cult classic After Hours—the film he credits with rekindling his love for directing. Mike and Steven are joined by special guest Ben Tanzer, author of the new book After Hours: Scorsese, Grief and the Language of Cinema, to discuss the film’s surreal storytelling, its place in Scorsese’s filmography, and how it helped Ben process the loss of his father.

Plus, in film and podcasting news, the trio reacts to Marc Maron’s announcement that he’s ending his legendary podcast WTF with Marc Maron later this year.

Whether you’re a fan of Scorsese, ’80s cinema, or personal stories about grief and art, this episode offers an insightful conversation you won’t want to miss.

Order After Hours: Scorsese, Grief, and the Grammar of Cinema here.
