Down by Law (Ep. 016)

The MacGuffin Guild

On this episode of the MacGuffin Guild, we're gonna get thrown in the slammer with Zack, Jack and Bob in Down By Law.
This 1986 Comedy Crime Drama was Written and Directed by Jim Jarmusch and stars Tom Waits, John Lurie, Roberto Benigni and Ellen Barkin.

We're gonna talk about Tom Waits' impact on music and film, how Down by Law differs from Ghost Dog, the careers of Roberto Benigni and John Lurie, Pat's Solid #2 and Tim Burton's Jazz Explosion.
We'll discuss how to be confident but not cocky, exceptional bush shots, distant off-screen train whistles as well as the band Skeleton Key and the Phantom Limb Company.
For those of you who don't know, we'll get into Pat's Top 3 All-Time favorite musical acts, Best on-screen hiccups, what jobs Justin, Mike and Pat have worked together and ask the question: Just how thick ARE the laughs? .
I'm Pat Dougherty and as always I'll be joined by my fellow MacGuffin's Justin Jones and Mike Antonio. Our theme song was written and performed by Jordan Vincent. It's not where you start - It's where you start again... in Down by Law.
