Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets (Featuring David Quinones)

On this special cross-over episode, I'm joined by David Quinones for a conversation we had on our Bird Road Podcast about the fascinating 2020 film, Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets. Filmed to look like the closing day in the life of a Las Vegas bar and its regulars (but actually a scripted narrative film), Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets provided us the perfect opportunity to reminisce on our 20s when we spent nearly every night in bars like this. We also get into a bunch of puzzle pieces including Cinema Verite, Another Round, Last Night at the Alamo and Anomalisa.
