Summary

Noirvember 2022 continues with a look at Ivan Passer’s Cutter’s Way. Originally released as Cutter and Bone, the film is an adaptation of Newton Thornburg’s 1976 book and stars John Heard as Cutter and Jeff Bridges as Bone. They’re a pair of troubled souls who engage themselves in a mystery that may or may not be real.

Mike Watt and Maitland McDonagh join Mike to discuss this fascinating neo-noir. They're joined by screenwriter Jeffrey Alan Fiskin and actors Arthur Rosenberg, Ann Dusenberry, and Lisa Eichhorn.
