It's a criminal shame there is no marketing budget behind FAST COLOR.

The indignities that May endured with Mikey and Nicky were only amplified, to historic heights (rather, depths), with the release of Ishtar; she suffered the equivalent of a career and character assassination, and the critics were, even more than before, repugnantly complicit. — Richard Brody (@tnyfrontrow) April 21, 2019
