The French Connection (1971)

Buckle up Rye Nation because we are diving head first into a cask we're calling,"The Films of William Friedkin," and up first is his Academy Award winning, The French Connection. Journey with us as we head to NYC and go though the gauntlet with our "protagonist" Popeye Doyle. Is this film the worthy chase it deserves to be or have other films handled this better? Our Flight for the week asks, "What are your top 3 Anti-Heroes on film?" We wrap up with a Nightcap discussing our favorite films set in New York City. So pour some whiskey, grab your Pork Pie hat, and get ready to pick your feet in Poughkeepsie. Cheers!
