We take another break from Begleyuary with a look at a remake of a 1947 film based on a book: Nightmare Alley. Directed by Guillermo Del Toro, the film stars Bradley Cooper as Stanton Carlisle, a down on his luck carny, who takes his mentalism act a step too far in 1940's New York. Former Kulture Shocked writer Yashar Pirasteh joins Chris to talk about the film, Bradley Cooper, and Guillermo Del Toro.
