Not a podcast, but worth showing here because this is a classic New York story. A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints is a book written by Dito Montiel that has been made into a movie based on Dito’s screenplay.
The movie chronicles Dito’s rough upbringing in Astoria, Queens from the perspective of an older Dito (played by Robert Downey Jr.) remembering his past while returning to visit his sick father years later.
The film won some major awards at the 2006 Sundance film festival and has a classic New York cast that includes Rosario Dawson, Chazz Palminteri and Diane Wiest along with younger stars Shia LaBeouf and Channing Tatum. The film opens in New York and Los Angeles on September 29th.
