In the lyrics of a recent song I’ve come to love — “After Hours” by Christian Lee Hutson — there’s a reference to the 1985 film of the same name: “I miss our adventures, East Village winters / Acting out True West by lamplight / You look like After Hours-era Catherine O’Hara / You were really on one that night.” I’ve never seen the movie, a neo-noir black comedy that’s supposed to be something of an outlier in Martin Scorsese’s larger filmography, but those Hutson lines alone are so vivid that it’s on my to-watch list.
