Things get turned upside down when JoJo wakes up believing he’s Joe Louis - one of boxings greatest legends...

2023 · 18 min · ★ 6.0 · TV Movie

Grand Jury Award Winner - Slamdance 2023 Jury's notes: “With idiosyncratic music choices, sibling chemistry out the wazoo, and a philosophical Brooklynite as the series lead (played by Howard Lester in his introductory role), Theodore Collatos’s Palookaville explores the surreal existence of JoJo, a man victimized by a random act of violence who now thinks he’s the famous defunct boxer/anti-fascist, Joe Louis. Will you believe that JoJo’s become the Brown Bomber? Doesn’t matter, because you will believe in Palookaville.”
