John Hoffman, who co-created and executive produces Only murders in this buildingOffers some insight into the Dudenoff killer reveal in season 4, episode 8, “Lifeboat.” The episode traces Milton Dudenoff’s life story and sees him become his own killer, with the Westies helping him cremate his body. Until now Only murders in this building Season 4, it looked like the Westies had more nefarious intentions, and that Dudenoff was a victim just like Sazz.
Hoffman said The rap That the episode is about the tragedy and legacy of Dudenoff, which was “You are looking for directory control“while”The last throw of his life“ by mapping “How specifically did he want to go out.” The co-creator revealed that the episode began as an homage to Martin Scorsese gangs of new york But later changed. Check out his statement below:
Episode 8 has an emotional beating heart about a man who has lost his wife and has all the apartments and has not had a family, a man who has studied film studies all his life and has never made a film himself and the relationship of casting A film, and before you get out of here, what is the film that I put together that means the most to me? He threw out the floor of the Arkonia filled with people who have big dreams and the only way to try and have a springboard into those dreams is what he gave them by not having to worry about rent.
In the latter part of his life, he was looking for directorial control. So knowing the Westies very well, he had to contain the timeframe and the location. He mapped out the story and the script for how he wanted to go out so specifically. We obviously have to jump over some depth and history between them all, and there’s a lot you have to assume about how close the group has become and how well they know each other. We obviously do that in the series of ”Oh Hell” playing so you get a vibe of that. But when we come to the funeral scene, he has his group and in some ways it is the group that can only do it because they know him in a specific way. They are not family in the traditional sense, but they are found family, people you can rely on for some difficult things that family of origin would struggle with. So in that way, the wish he has for them is his wish for himself, which I think is lovely – and a little cruel.
We started with an homage to Martin Scorsese’s “Gangs of New York,” and as it developed further, we realized, “Oh, it’s more Lifeboat, it’s more Alfred Hitchcock.” I’m sorry we don’t have a Scorsese representation in here for this season, but the Hitchcock one felt really right – right along the lines of how far people would go to keep themselves together – and makes a sweet analogy between a train and a Affordable apartment in New York City felt intriguing.
