The French Connection
Episode description
This week, Jonathan and Michael go high-speed on the 1971 classic "The French Connection."
We talked at length about the film's multiple, bravura chase scenes and asked if the famous car-train sequence is even the best one in the movie! We debated whether Popeye Doyle, played by Gene Hackman, is a good cop, and questioned whether his character was too one-dimensional and, even more importantly, too amoral.
We poked a few holes in the film's plot, but agreed that this is peak '70s action filmmaking and the high point of New Hollywood!
So buckle up your seat belts, break out your walking stick, and check out this week's episode. But whatever you do ... don't pick your feet!
