Convinced he'll graduate with honors because of his thesis paper, a stuffy Harvard student finds his paper being held hostage by a homeless man, who might be the guy to school the young man in life.
Gorky the rooster is killed off-screen for a New Year’s dinner celebration dinner. Nothing seen or heard, just a moment of surprise when the character realizes whom he’s eating. Played for laughs, but pretty dark for animal lovers and vegetarians/vegans.
Gorky’s carcass isn’t shown, but we see characters eating what we think is a chicken/turkey dinner, only to later be confirmed to be Gorky the rooster.
