Ep. 111 Sleepers

Send us a message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2047429/fan_mail/new] Join writer‑producer Vince Cusimano and me as we dig into Barry Levinson’s 1996 film Sleepers, a bruised, morally tangled story that moves from the backstreets of Hell’s Kitchen to the cold geometry of a courtroom. We get into the film’s blend of memory and myth, the way it turns childhood trauma into a lifelong reckoning, and why its mix of Catholic guilt, street‑corner loyalty, and institutional rot still hits with the force of a confession whispered too late. 🎬 🎙️ Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2047429/support] Find me on X (Twitter) and Instagram @vitophone or thegatesofcimino.com https://www.buzzsprout.com/2047429/support This episode brought to you by Vitophone.

Send us a message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2047429/fan_mail/new] Join me and actor/writer Vince Cusimano as we celebrate the one‑of‑a‑kind force that is Robert Duvall — a master of character, craft, and cinematic truth. We dig into the performances that shaped generations of actors, the stories behind the roles, and the unmistakable Duvall DNA that runs through everything from prestige dramas to dusty Americana epics. If you love actors who disappear into the frame, this one’s for you. 🎬 🎙️  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2047429/support] Find me on X (Twitter) and Instagram @vitophone or thegatesofcimino.com https://www.buzzsprout.com/2047429/support This episode brought to you by Vitophone.
