Glad @allofitwnyc.bsky.social is re-airing #DropDeadCity interview. So many NYC political reporters seem unaware of what really happened in the 70s, and why...

Never thought of NYC as #FearCity, but in 1975, finance crisis led 2 moniker, as chronicled by ppl involved in #DropDeadCity. IMO more interesting film would dually focus on NYC’s near-bankrupts in ’75 & ‘23 (sims/diffs) NOTE: Visuals negligible, so just stream. #AbrahamBeame #GeraldFord #WallStreet

Watch #DropDeadCity to see how this country wound up in this racist sinkhole...

One of the many great deets in #DropDeadCity was that Nelson Rockefeller never spent a night in Albany. Flew back and forth every day rather than sleep in Podunk. And now Cuomo's scraping for crumbs here?

Now Playing: DROP DEAD CITY (2024) --

Michael Rohatyn and Peter Yost’s blistering #DropDeadCity holds the keys to that dark period when the city that never sleeps suddenly went full narcoleptic. #filmsky

No libs want to watch "The Apprentice" cuz it's about the monster in chief. But it is very useful in understanding why he is such a monster. As the city was going bankrupt, he was getting trashed by his dad's exploited people when he had to go collect rents. #DropDeadCity

To IFC today for #DropDeadCity. All those political ghosts from the past; you could laugh & cry at it all & it just made me love NY even more. A snoring guy & a woman behind me kicking my seat (my barely repressed hostility towards her grew as the film went on) almost enhanced the experience.
