Joel Schumacher. 1993's FALLING DOWN may be THE angry white man vigilante thriller, a Rorschach test that either examines or celebrates racially charged grievance. Then there’s 1999's bleak psychological thriller 8MM, which answers the question: what if SE7EN shared a director with BATMAN & ROBIN?You can find Jason's book, Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the Life of a Legend, at https://mzs.press/SIGNED-Gandolfini-Jim-Tony-and-the-Life-of-a-Legend-by-Jason-Bailey-Hardcover-NEW-p730146973Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.You can support us on Patreon at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/unwatchables to get access to exclusive bonus content and weigh in on what we watch next.Find us online at www.unwatchablespod.com or shoot us an email at [email protected].
