Mikey and Nicky (1976)

Do you like films made by bad-ass female directors? Do you like cinematic studies in realism? Do you just want to watch Peter Falk in something that isn't Columbo? Then Mikey and Nicky is the movie for you! This uncomfortable and unflinching portrait of toxic masculinity is brought to you by the incomparable Elaine May who wrote and directed this cult classic. Peter Falk, John Cassavetes, Ned Beatty, Carol Grace, and Sanford Meisner round out the cast of this subtle and unique film experience. Host, Sara Greenfield and her guest, Jeremy Hersh chat about all this and more on this week's episode of Talk Classic to Me.
