The Catchers reviewed in the excellent @crackmagazine: "a finely wrought romp, a picaresque odyssey replete with shady characters and all manner of high-jinx ... a tale about capitalism, red in tooth and claw" thecrackmagazine.com/view-editorial…
This is a terrific (& terrifically indiscreet) Teri Garr interview from 2008 avclub.com/teri-garr-1798…
