The Pope of Greenwich Village

We end Patreon August, this year focusing on Mickey Rourke, with a film we were'nt intially covering but hey, when friends make suggestions, you listen: The Pope of Greenwich Village. Noise Junkies' Father Malone programs the episode and stops by along with Rankin' on Bass's Richard Hatem to talk about Rourke's peformance, the film's tone, and the subtextual homoeroticism.Starring Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts as two cousins, the two butt heads and grapple with their place in the mob-adjacent hierarchy of mid-'80s Greenwich Village. Along the way, lye is drunk, thumbs are removed, and Eric Roberts emotes like he owes someone money.
