I Eat Movies #2: No Podcast So Fierce - Short Eyes (1977) / On the Yard (1978)

In I Eat Movies #2: No Podcast So Fierce - Short Eyes (1977) / On the Yard (1978), co-hosts Dino Prosperio and Mike Kenny gush over their shared love for the male prison drama and examine the many offshoots of its own unique subgenre. After celebrating the life and singular work of Miguel Piñero, our cohosts do hard time with director Robert M. Young's harrowing '77 classic where man can't help you, only Jesus. Next up, starring a bevy of passionate performers from the late John Heard (Cutter's Way, Cat People) to Thomas G. Waites (The Warriors, The Thing), snitches get stitches in the adaptation of Malcolm Braly's novel realized by husband and wife collaborators, Raphael and Joan Micklin Silver (Hester Street, Chilly Scenes of Winter). Don't suffer from a failure to communicate and come hungry to an extended stay behind bars in I Eat Movies #2!
