111. Short Cuts at Johnie's Broiler w/ Matthew Wilder

As helicopters descend on the city it's time to cruise down to Johnie's Broiler the magical diner in Downey where Tom Waits abandons his tuna melt in SHORT CUTS (1993). What better place to enter Robert Altman's masterpiece mosaic of "untapped Los Angeles" and the Raymond Carver stories within, and what better guest to go with than the extraordinary Matthew Wilder, last seen with us at Bob's Big Boy in Burbank. Must book and movie and life always be at odds?
