Summary
Abel Ferrara’s 1984 NYC sleaze gem FEAR CITY gets the Movie Club treatment, with a side order of TEQUILA & BONETTI - a show that just might change everyone’s life. The brilliant and charming film essayist, cinema professor & connoisseur Rich Johnson returns to join me in celebrating all things Abel Ferrara, the charisma of Jack Scalia, magic of Melanie Griffith, triumph of Tom Beringer and brilliance of Billy Dee Williams in a film about a stripper agency whose clients are being hunted by a serial killer. In short, a wholesome romp that somehow hasn’t yet popped up on the Hallmark Channel.
