The Untouchables (1987) — "What are you prepared to do?"

He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. Brian De Palma's The Untouchables, written by David Mamet and loosely based on real events, stars Kevin Costner as federal agent Eliot Ness, assembling a small team to take down Chicago crime boss Al Capone (Robert De Niro). Sean Connery won an Oscar as the veteran beat cop who shows Ness how it's done in Chicago, and Ennio Morricone delivers an incredible score. With an amazing cast from stem to stern, it's a gangster epic built for the big screen. Father Malone of Midnight Viewing and Mike White of The Projection Booth join Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Brian De Palma, Sean Connery, Ennio Morricone, and so much more.
