See Hear Podcast Episode 38 - Payday

It’s time for See Hear podcast episode 38.   What do you get
when you have a narcissist keeping everyone in his immediate circle
in a powerless state because no one feels they can tell the emperor
he’s behaving woefully?   Wrong answer… (well….right answer
but not in this context). You have the 1972 cinema debut from Daryl
Duke called Payday. Rip Torn plays Maury Dann, a regionally popular
touring country singer. He’s never hit the Johnny Cash level of
popularity, but he’s a king in his own mind and will throw those
closest to him under the bus if it satisfies his requirements. The
film covers a couple of days in the life….and it ain’t pretty.
  Bernie, Tim and Maurice discuss this hidden seventies gem.
The characters in this film are all three dimensional. Rip Torn
brings some serious acting chops as he lays out the charisma and
the nastiness in Maury Dann. The film is a downbeat, gritty look at
life on the road for this manipulative man-child who is not out for
any sort of redemption.   You can download the show by
