The great Escape From Alcatraz
from The Pod Charles Cinecast · host The Prince Charles Cinema
This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas are tasked with finishing out their prison sentence at the hardest place to ever do time... The Rock! It's the final episode of our BREAKING THE LAW, BREAKING THE LAW crime arc, and we end things with a good ol' fashioned jailbreak, with Don Siegel's 1979 prison thriller, ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ, starring Clint Eastwood. Based on the true story of the three men who in 1962 methodically tunnelled out of their cells, climbed to the roof out of a vent, shimmied down some pipes, jumped a couple of fences and plunged into the icy cold waters of the San Francisco Bay; never to be seen from again... Did these three men successfully escape the inescapable island penitentiary? Join us, as we go into the true story of the film, dive into the history of Alcatraz, some of the many escape attempts, and dine on some conspiracy theories about what may have happened to the escapees. You don't want to miss it!“If you disobey the rules of society, they send you to prison; if you disobey the rules of the prison, they send you to us.”If you enjoy the podcast, leave a Rating and Review!
