Hard to believe that it's been a decade since beloved critic Roger Ebert passed away. His analysis helped shape a generation of critics and audience members alike, including his work with Gene Siskel that arguably paved the way for film podcasts like this one. So, Double Edged Double Bill is devoting an episode to one film he gave a big thumb's up to and another he gave a massive thumb's down to! First, Al Pacino sweats his way through a hot summer's bank heist in Sidney Lumet's acclaimed drama Dog Day Afternoon! Then, Rob Reiner kills his directorial hot streak with North, a film Roger Ebert loathed so much he made it infamous! Together, our duo answers the crucial questions. What was Al Pacino like before he danced around with headphones hooked to his Shrek cased phone? How badly did North destroy Rob Reiner's miracle run? Which two films will they pick for next week's episode about Monstrous Mothers? Well, change out of your Easter bunny costume and hop away from the bank so you can listen to find out!Subscribe to our Patreon for $1 a month to get bonus podcasts & polls to choose episode topics and films we cover! patreon.com/dedbpodFollow the show on social media (Instagram, Twitter & Facebook) via @dedbpod! Send feedback to [email protected]!
