THE BOONDOCK SAINTS (1999)
Manage episode 455327207 series 2883662
"We're sorta like 7-Eleven. We're not always doing business, but we're always open."
For Gary’s pick for a movie from 1999, he went with an infamous film that’s thre true definition of a “cult film.” When THE BOONDOCK SAINTS was (barely) released in theaters, it had practically no impact at all, but months later, when the movie hit home video, it became a bonafide word-of-mouth sensation, especially among younger audiences who viewed its attempt at a Tarantino-esque crime film as the epitome of edgy cool.
While praise for the film has waned in the quarter century since, it still has a devoted fanbase, one that’s helped the film produce one sequel (so far, with more reportedly on the way).
In this episode, we’ll tell the story of how THE BOONDOCK SAINTS was made. In a fascinating story — one with a narrative adored by the trade papers while it was all going down — THE BOONDOCK SAINTS was written and directed by a bartender-turned-filmmaker who’d never written a screenplay in his life, only to become Hollywood’s golden child seemingly overnight. Troy Duffy, however, soon found that his fall from Hollywood’s graces could come as quickly as his rise.
