Ep 19: The Lost Weekend

It is a weekend vacation for team BPC as we walk the streets of NY with the troubled Don Birnum. Artie B (Departed, SlumDog, Argo) and Chris G (Rain Man, Lambs, Halloween) rejoin the podcast as we deep dive this Billy Wilder Classic! We marvel over the film making skills of Wilder as he gives the world his cinematic take on Alcoholism and how well it holds up 75 years laster. We take an on brand detour as we have a spoiler free discussion other movies that depict alcoholism and substance abuse such as Leaving Las Vegas, Requiem for a Dream, Flight and Trainspotting. We also take that time to go off on a Nick Cage tangent and give recommendations if you liked The Lost Weekend! Nothing remains unfound in this Lost Weekend conversation. Time Stamps Below!
