Survival in the city

Although I much prefer Ethan Minsker's later work like Man in Camo, it's nice to visit some of his earlier work to see how he's evolved as an artist over time. I always enjoy hearing Ethan's tales about the old East Village, and this is a really fascinating edition to his oeuvre that focuses on many of the same themes as Barstool Prophets and The Soft Hustle. It is set in the same place and time as the other two works. It takes a lot to be able to survive in New York (as the main character of this movie can attest to), and consuming Ethan's work always reminds me of that fact, and makes me appreciate the history of my neighborhood.
