This time Cinphomaniac tackles Gloria, the 1980 studio genre classic from independent cinema pioneer John Cassavetes, starring his frequent collaborator and partner, Gena Rowlands, in an all-time legendary performance in the titular role. Marcus and Dana discuss the film's status as quintessential piece of "real" New York cinema and what defines "real" New York cinema, as opposed to "Welcome To New York" pop-aganda. They also breakdown the storied filmography of Cassavetes and Rowlands, Cassavetes's debut feature, Shadows, and much more.
