The Scandalous Origins of Martin Scorsese’s After Hours | Andrew Hearst

Dammit.

Much of the plot setup and some of the dialogue in Scorsese’s excellent 1985 film were brazenly lifted from an NPR Playhouse monologue by the radio artist Joe Frank.

Folks, Admittedly the donations to the Squiffle Will Die Indiegogo campaign have fallen a little bit. We are about $60 away from crossing the $300 barrier. That is a very important milestone for us on our way to our $900 goal. So here is what I am offering. Every single person who donates ANYTHING until we get to $300 will receive a PERSONALIZED SKETCH!!!!!! I will draw anything you want! Yourself, your spouse, maybe a happy moment in your life, maybe a traumatic moment in your life and then if you see it in sketch form, it will bring closure to your psychological issues, or your pets! Whatever you want, I WILL DRAW IT! Once again….DONATE TO THE INDIEGOGO CAMPAIGN, GET US TO $300 here and recieve a PERSONALIZED SKETCH on top of the other incentives!!!! THIS IS A SPECIAL OFFER, FOLKS!!!!! I’m currently working on a character blog post about the character of Paps, as played by the fantastically talented Ben Schlotfelt. Paps is Squiffle’s father who works in a factory that produces conveyor belts and is married to a woman with no eyes or mouth.

I finally had a WTF dream!!!!!

Okay. So here’s what happened. Marc Maron were interviewing Woody Allen for the podcast. The idea was that you would talk to him for about an hour and then watch Dusan Makavajev’s WR: Mysteries of the Organism with him because he picked that DVD out of his collection. For whatever reason, he was doing the podcast in a child’s bedroom at the top of a tall staircase. I found myself within the house and walked upstairs, which had the unfortunate effect of making all the wood creak. I go upstairs and barrel past Marc’s secretary, a young dark-haired Jewish woman and walk into the podcasting room. Woody Allen is talking about something or other and I simply wave my hand. Marc and Woody see me and shoot me the angriest, open-mouth scowl I have ever seen, dream or otherwise.

Later on, I’m with my fiancee and Marc walks in and go, “Yeah, hi, I just wanted to say that i had to press “record” twice on that!” I didn’t even realize he was mad. I apologize profusely. To make up for it, I offer him lots of candy and brochures to tourist destinations in Branson Missouri.

Marc, if you’re there: I am really really really sorry for ruining your Woody Allen podcast. I hope the two of you can watch WR at some point.

Best,
Jer
