Exploring New York's Cinematic Landscape and Gilded Age Getaway Invitation

Greg and Tom have taken off their historian hats and have become -- movie critics? Close but not quite!

This week we're giving you a 'sneak preview' of their Patreon podcast called Side Streets, a conversational show about New York City and, well, whatever interests them that week. In honor of the Academy Awards, the Bowery Boys hosts pay homage to the great Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert while looking at five award-worthy films with strong New York City connections:

-- Anora with its captivating south Brooklyn locations

-- A Complete Unknown, taking us back 1960s Greenwich Village 

-- Wicked, a spritely interpretation of the Broadway musical

-- The Brutalist, an epic about more than just architecture

-- Saturday Night, a frenetic tribute to the comedy-show icon which turns 50 years old this year
