The World's Only Podcast™ about bizarre, overlooked, and misbegotten media
Tim and Jen effuse about an early Michael Mann joint for television, the prison story The Jericho Mile!
You can buy a beautiful blu-ray of the film from Kino Lorber, but if you just can’t wait to see it, it’s on YouTube. And we highly recommend it!
The 1977 film Short Eyes, based on Miguel Piñero’s incendiary play, is free with ads on Tubi.
For more Michael Mann, check out our episode on The Keep!
Jen and Tim are joined by Darren “Sebebe” Herczeg to reassess Michael Mann’s profoundly flawed fantasy/horror film, The Keep! Hear the whole episode at our Patreon and get access to more than 50+ bonus episodes!
Kit Rae’s exhaustive fansite may be the definitive document on The Keep at this point, but there’s also a documentary more than ten years in the making on the same subject. You can follow the filmmakers for updates on Twitter!
Read Michael Mann’s original screenplay for The Keep!
Watch the ending cut from the theatrical release and inexplicably appended to TV versions of the film.
And after you’ve done that, watch Mann’s wonderful telefilm The Jericho Mile so Jen will finally shut up about it.
When you’re sick of The Keep, join Sebebe for the online I Swing, You Swing game.
