We couldn't think of a better gift for you this morning than KING OF NEW YORK STORIES featuring the king of New York stories himself, RICHARD PRICE! Yes, the man behind movies like The Color of Money and Sea of Love, TV shows like The Wire and The Night Of, and books like Lush Life, Clockers, and Ladies' Man joins IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHTTIME to talk Abel Ferrara's batshit brilliant King of New York (1990) and his own absolutely perfect Life Lessons—an unsung Scorsese classic from New York Stories (1989). In the process, he tells us a thing or two about how to write a movie, what it's like working with Scorsese, and the kind of fruit Paul Newman most likes to eat in the shower! Baby, we're your allies against horse dung and fraud this week because it's time for...KING OF NEW YORK STORIES! • Complaints? Compliments? Concerns?
