The Words On Flicks Show: Train Tales with Michael A. Gonzales

Welcome back to The Words On Flicks Show! We’ve taken a break for the summer, but we’re back with the movie talk from a fan perspective that I hope you’ve come to enjoy.

For the September episode, frequent guest Michael A. Gonzales and host Janine Coveney reminisce about the NYC Subway trains and their role in numerous films over the years, tying into Michael’s most recent CrimeReads.com article "'The Incident' and Other New York City Subway Stories." The conversation will fan out to other silver screen train tales. Come with us for the ride on the Iron Horse!
