Episode 58: Two Bits with Scott Weinberg
Episode 58
Monday, 17 November, 2025
Two Bits was released in North America in November 1995. It was directed by James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross) and starred Al Pacino (Glengarry Glen Ross), Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (Scarface) and Jerry Barrone. It told the story of Gennaro, a young boy, who wants his Grandpa's last quarter so he can go to the movies, but he must first deliver a message from his ailing Grandpa to a woman he loved years prior. Set in 1933's Philadelphia, and also shot in the city. Two Bits was not a hit. In fact, it was seen by very few. It was a small film during a big period for Pacino.Film Critic Scott Weinberg, a Philly native born & bred, joins the podcast to discuss Two Bits. Scott talks about what it would be like trying to film on the streets of his home city, why the film's title would only make sense to Americans and how the story might have meant something to the film's writer. All About Al: The Pacino Podcast is written, produced and presented by Mark Searby. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
