Join writer‑producer Vince Cusimano and me as we dig into Barry Levinson’s 1996 film Sleepers, a bruised, morally tangled story that moves from the backstreets of Hell’s Kitchen to the cold geometry of a courtroom. We get into the film’s blend of memory and myth, the way it turns childhood trauma into a lifelong reckoning, and why its mix of Catholic guilt, street‑corner loyalty, and institutional rot still hits with the force of a confession whispered too late. 🎬 🎙️
