Last season we discussed the 1975 film “Nashville” and talked around the other nominees for Best Picture that year. On this episode, we delve into one of those nominees – Sidney Lumet’s “Dog Day Afternoon”. Thanks to our Patreon member Ryan Michael Zepp, he suggested this film and we dove into everything: the real life story the film was based on, Pacino vs. Nicholson throughout the 70s, and just how special John Cazale was as an actor. Also, this week Adam recommends the 1994 classic “Speed” (available on HBO Max) and Ian recommends the pulpy “Charley Varrick” (available to rent on most major platforms).
