The French Connection (1971)

This week, the guys pick their toes in Poughkeepsie as they discuss one of the seminal car chase films in cinema history, 1971's The French Connection. In it, we go all 'trigger warning' on Popeye Doyle, one of the most uncouth heroes of any film ever and learn why Matt carries a pistol with director William Friedkin's name on it. And just how good is that car chase sequence? We analyze the heck out of it! All this and more, this week on the Podcast. Thanks for listening!
