Episode Details

From 1980 to 1985, the underground zine “Sleazoid Express” became one of the first publications to seriously cover grindhouse movies, and a valuable primary document about life on New York’s 42nd Street. Its editor and writer, the late Bill Landis, was the Hunter S. Thompson of film criticism… and a man who left a trail of wreckage in his wake. In this special bonus episode, Will talks to Preston Fassel, author of the new biography “Landis: The Story of a Real Man on 42nd Street,” about the checkered life and lasting legacy of Times Square’s greatest film critic.
