Join us in Season 2 as we watch NY films to explore the city's culture and history. This week we are in the middle of our Legendary Gangster theme and watched 1989's "Harlem Nights". It remains the only time Eddie Murphy directed a film. For this one Bruce and Sam dig in on gangsters in 1930s Harlem, alley ways, Richard Pryor, Red Fox, Eddie Murphy's crazy career high at this time, the many strange and fascinating scenes in this idiosyncratic film, "The Cotton Club", and more - join us! Music by Dylan Thurston (www.dylanthurston.com) and find our more about this episode at www.citybetween.com. Next week we will watch "The Godfather".
