Remainders Episode 101: Bad Lieutenant

On this episode of Remainders we watch the 1992 crime thriller Bad Lieutenant. Directed by Abel Ferrara and starring Harvey Keitel, Bad Lieutenant is the story of a corrupt, drug-addicted New York City cop spiraling out of control and forced into contemplating his own redemption. A mean, dirty movie with an all-time performance by Keitel, we start our Bad Lieutenant double-feature with a banger.

Other topics include Abel Ferrara’s career, 90s independent cinema and the elusive NC-17 rating, going to the Emmys, The Ramones 50th anniversary celebration at Hollywood Forever Cinema, and meeting Kurt Russell and completing The Thing autograph collection.
