April 02, 2024Golden Gangsters: Key Largo (1948)
Well listen soldier, thousands of guys got podcasts but there's only one Johnny Rocco! In this episode:
Jason unveils all the intricacies of the script, demystifying the core of the gangster, and tells William about the comedy gangster films you haven't heard of.

And William constantly asks if we're there yet in between loudly eating Goldfish on the way to Key Largo. And, in terms of factual statements, drops some extra movie talk so juicy that even he doesn't know if it counts as 2 movies or 1.5.

February 10, 2024Golden Gangsters: The Public Enemy (1931) Pt. 2

Jason and William talked about the behind the scenes of the creation of this movie, the core ethos of gangster movies, Al Capone, the Anti Saloon League and moonshine tubs. What!?

Then we analyzed this incredible saga of Tom Powers, his great reign and his greater downfall.
