Ep. 60 The Wanderers

On this episode hosts John Cribbs & Christopher Funderburg are
joined by filmmaker & historian Bill Teck to discuss their
shared love of Philip Kaufman’s cult classic The Wanderers - a
coming-of-age comedy about teenage gangs in the Bronx in 1963. The
conversation explores the film’s singular tone, how Kaufman
remained an outsider even among the New Hollywood mavericks of the
70’s, and the ways in which The Wanderers resembles an American
Fellini movie. It’s free-flowing conversation about a film that
brings the trio joy while provoking them to grapple with issues of
consequence - the film itself is a serious goof, a heavy comedy, a
brutal lark and a true cult phenomenon in an era when such films
are increasingly rare. Get your baseball bat & satin jacket,
we’re headed into Ducky Boy country… The Pink Smoke site:
