Watch With Jen - S6: E14 - Physical Media: Part 2 - THE GRIFTERS with S.A. Cosby & Jordan Harper & THIEF & NIGHT MOVES with Priscilla Page

We're back with part two of our ongoing summer series devoted to the newest physical media releases from The Criterion Collection & today's episode is a must for neo-noir fans everywhere. First up, you'll hear from bestselling award-winning authors S.A. Cosby (whose newest novel KING OF ASHES just hit shelves last week) & Jordan Harper (SHE RIDES SHOTGUN & EVERYBODY KNOWS) on director Stephen Frears' outstanding adaptation of author Jim Thompson's THE GRIFTERS. Then we leave the '90s behind & go further back in time to catch up with the brilliant film essayist & historian Priscilla Page on two of her all-time favorite films in director Michael Mann's THIEF & Arthur Penn's NIGHT MOVES. Scholarly, fresh, funny, & filled with razor sharp analysis, hold onto your wallet, car, & any missing girls or crooks in your orbit & just try to keep up with all of these cons.
