Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror Podcast

• THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE

  Continuing our look into the gritty crime-addled lifestyle of 1970s NYC, we cover the neo-noir and comedic trappings of The Talking of Pelham One Two Three, which fuses the two genres into a hybrid that shouldn't work but does very well. We talk about the mammoth presence of Walter Matthau, the coolness factor of the four hijackers, and even throw out some love for Jerry Stiller's and Doris Roberts' small parts. We're also drinking Fidens Brewing Company's Triple Jasper with Peacharine triple IPA, a whopping 10%er!Approximate timeline0:00-10:00 Intro10:00-20:00 Beer talk20:00-end The Taking of Pelham One Two ThreeWe hope you enjoyed; if you did, subscribe and leave a review!
