TW: some strong language
In this episode, I do a deep dive into John Cassavetes' formative years, career as both an actor and filmmaker, and his relationship with wife Gena Rowlands. His struggles as an artist are detailed, as well as behind-the-scenes stories from the directors, actors, and crew members he worked with. Other topics include his work in the Academy Award-nominated films The Dirty Dozen and Woman Under the Influence, friendships with frequent collaborators Peter Falk and Ben Gazzara, his impact on independent cinema and what set him apart from a majority of his peers, and much more!
