Listen "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore"
Episode Synopsis
Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is Scorsese’s second (and ostensibly last) movie to center around a female protagonist, showing off a more sincere side to his filmmaking that we don’t always see. Alice’s struggles (beautiful rendered by an Oscar winning performance from Ellen Burstyn) have a timeless quality to them, even if aspects of the ending feel quite dated. We get into all that as well as personal stories of food poisoning, walking home alone, and eating in locally owned diners. Also, we misremember Talia Shire’s role in The Godfather!
