Podcast appearances and mentions of Charley Varrick

This week I'm recommending four crime films from the 1970s and early 80s. Each one centers on a planned job, bank heists, robberies, break-ins, and none of them go smoothly. The tone across these films is lean, serious, and focused on the people involved more than the action. There's a lot of attention to detail, and they hold up well.Charley Varrick (1973) Directed by Don Siegel. Walter Matthau plays a bank robber who ends up in the crosshairs of something bigger than expected. Matthau had just done more comedic work at the time, so this role stood out. Joe Don Baker plays a contract killer hired to clean things up. Lalo Schifrin did the score, which is sharp and suits the pace. It was based on the novel The Looters by John Reese.The Anderson Tapes (1971)Directed by Sidney Lumet. Sean Connery is a thief planning to rob an entire apartment building. The film stands out for how it handles surveillance. Almost every major character is being watched by police, by private groups, by government agencies. This was Christopher Walken's first film. The music is by Quincy Jones, and it's more experimental than you'd expect.Thief (1981) Michael Mann's first feature film. James Caan plays a professional safecracker who wants to get out after one last job. Mann used real tools and brought in actual former thieves to advise on the technical side. The film has a cold, exact feel. The soundtrack is by Tangerine Dream. It's shot in Chicago and uses the city well without overdoing it.The Getaway (1972) Directed by Sam Peckinpah. Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw star as a couple on the run after a robbery. The script was written by Walter Hill and based on a novel by Jim Thompson. The film was a big success when it came out and mixes action with slower moments of tension. McQueen did many of his own stunts. It's one of the more polished crime films of its time.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This is a public episode.

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Perry Ruhland discuss psychic-connection serial killer thrillers with a double feature of Japanese filmmaker Gakuryu Ishii's stylish and atmospheric psychiatrist horror-procedural ANGEL DUST (1994) and one of the most baffling and bizarre pieces of accidental(?) experimental no-budget outsider art we've ever seen in Mark Region's AFTER LAST SEASON (2009).

Despite the kind of crappy craftsmanship and plotting that separates the movie Charley Varrick from the films of Ed Woods by just a hair (okay, that may be hyperbole but this is a bad movie), comedian Greg Dobrowski finds it hilariously entertaining. Jimmy, not so much - and to add insult to injury, Jimmy rented it when it was available for free on YouTube. No wonder he hated this movie.

Send us a textIn this episode we meet actor/director/professor Spencer Parsons. We discuss the 1973 neo-noir Charley Varrick. We talk about Walter Matthau and the great antagonist played by Joe Don Baker. Don, Siegel, Andy Robinson, Sheree North and much more. Click and listen!

We're still fixated on HEISTS, people!!! Nick Langdon pops in to discuss Charley Varrick (1973), directed by Don Siegel, and then Hudson Hawk (1991), directed by Michael Lehmann. Walter Matthau gets dark and grisly under Siegel's immaculate directorial hand (even if he didn't get the movie at all, apparently) and Joel Silver lets Bruce Willis' ego off the leash completely (with the result that very few people got the movie at all). Underappreciated gems or not? You be the judge! And then see if you agree with us! It's not really possible to spoil Hudson Hawk (plot is kind of secondary), but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Charley Varrick. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:23:51 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?

This week, Jobn takes his encyclopedic knowledge of quirky cinema, and shares a few of his favorite forgotten gems with Underscore and ShadoSpartan. Hear about Walter Matthau as a Clint Eastwood replacement, a film that almost out Scorsese'd Scorsese, Peter Sellers in his most totally-not-offensive character being paired up with Truman FREAKING Capote, Sam Rockwell representing the 650 while running from Robo Kevin Spacey on the moon, and other underappreciated films.Minor Spoiler Alerts for the Following:-Charley Varrick (1973)-Murder By Death (1976)-State of Grace (1990)-Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)-Blast from the Past (1999)-Moon (2009)-Alicia Silverstone (Time Immortal)PROMO ANNOUNCEMENTTime Pal Jobn has partnered with Legendary Suppliments (https://legendarysupps.com/) and there is a link in the bio to shop through our partnership.

It's finally time to tackle Walter Matthau's full filmography! We're not just talking about Matthau's must-see movies; we're ranking the crème de la crème that paint a vivid picture of his versatile acting chops. From the gritty heist in "Charley Varrick" to the laugh riots of "Grumpy Old Men" and the timeless charm of "The Odd Couple," we've got it all. Plus, we're not skimping on the suave suspense of "Charade" or his rock 'n' roll rumbling in "King Creole." Alongside a few surprise picks, we're peeling back the layers of Matthau's on-screen magic. If you thought you knew Walter Matthau, this episode might just have a few tricks up its sleeve. Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler

The incredible Alexei Navalny, a goofy but great forgotten Los Angeles movie, keeping it together with Ted Lange, meet me at the corner of Corleone and Siegel, Joe Don Baker will kick your ass, the defiance of Lenny Bruce, the foxiness of Valerie Perrine, my Martin Riggs moment, and a few Glorias. Stuff mentioned: Terminal Exposure (1987), Blow Up (1966), Zabriskie Point (1970), The Passenger (1975), The Love Boat (1977-1987), Jack Jones "Love Boat Theme" (1977), Suspiria (1977), Tenebrae (1982), The Godfather (1972), Escape From Alcatraz (1979), Dirty Harry (1971), Charley Varrick (1973), The Outfit (1973), The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976), The Outfit (2022), Lenny (1974), Superman (1978), Maureen McGovern "Can You Read My Mind?" (1978), Deathtrap (1982), Sleuth (1972), Sleuth (2007), Lethal Weapon (1987), Wind River (2017), Gloria (1999), Gloria (1980), Laura Branigan "Gloria" (1982), and Umberto Tozzi "Gloria" (1979).

Buckle up, because we're heading back to 1974 and diving into two cinematic sinkholes of desperation, debauchery, and… digging for dead bodies? For Episode 40, Brad's thrown Jake into the grimy, gambling purgatory of "The Gambler," while Jake's plunged Brad into the blood-soaked, tequila-fueled odyssey of "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia." First up, Brad's wrestled with James Caan's Axel Freed, a down on his luck teacher in pursuit of one last roll of the dice. Brace yourselves for existential despair, smoky backrooms, and enough high-stakes wagers to make you sweat through your earbuds. Meanwhile, Jake's been grappling with Sam Peckinpah's magnum opus of chaos, "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia." Warren Oates stars as Bennie, a hapless pianist dragged into a grotesque quest for a severed head and a hefty payday. Expect sun-baked highways and more moral ambiguity than a Tijuana back alley. Did Jake find solace in Caan's self-destructive symphony? Did Brad endure the psychedelic fever dream that is "Alfredo Garcia?" And will anyone emerge from this episode with their sanity intact? Tune in, but remember that when it comes to 1974, the only guarantee is that things are gonna get messy. So grab your whiskey, your existential dread, and your metaphorical shovels, because we're about to dig up some classic cinema dirt. Other movies discussed in this episode: Onionhead (1958), Ride a Crooked Trail (1958), Bonnie and Clyde (1967), The Wild Bunch (1969), Midnight Cowboy (1969), Duel (1971), Straw Dogs (1972), Badlands (1973), Charley Varrick (1973), The Taking of Pelham 123 (1974), Murder on the Orient Express (1974), The Man With the Golden Gun (1974), Young Frankenstein (1974), Chinatown (1974), Blazing Saddles (1974), The Year Without Santa Claus (1974), The Front Page (1974), The Conversation (1974), Italianamerican (1974), Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974), Lenny (1974), Going in Style (1979), Thelma & Louise (1991), Last Action Hero (1993), The Straight Story (1999), The Road (2009), Django Unchained (2012), The Gambler (2014), Win It All (2017), Uncut Gems (2019), Self Reliance (2023).  See what we're covering next week.

Known for his comedy roles in films like The Fortune Cookie and The Odd Couple, Matthau took a sharp turn into crime territory with a three-film run between 1973 and 1974.

Zwei Jahre nach DIRTY HARRY perfektioniert Don Siegel seinen zurückhaltenden Stil und erschafft auch dank Walter Matthau einen Thriller, der in seiner klaren Form und häufig ambivalenten Art die Genre-Grenzen weiter verschiebt. Zutiefst in der Ästhetik der 70er verankert, nutzt Siegel die neuen Optionen, die die von ihm beeinflussten jungen Regisseure und Autoren des New Hollywood aufgebrochen haben, integriert sie aber so perfekt in seine eigenen, im klassischen Hollywood erlernten Regelwerke, dass man bei diesem Film von einer der ersten Blaupausen für den Blockbuster und Actionfilm der 80er Jahre sprechen kann. Zugleich aber sieht man hier auch, wie gerade die Coen-Brüder und Quentin Tarantino bei CHARLEY VARRICK besonders gut aufgepasst haben dürften. Wir reden viel über die fast unsichtbare Regie, die klare, pointierte Erzählweise und Ästhetik und bewundern Don Siegels Arbeit so sehr, dass wir dem modernen Referenz-Regisseur Quentin Tarantino am Ende fast Unrecht tun.

Im Intro (unserem bisher längsten!?) geben wir uns ARD-Brennpunkt-mäßig und plaudern über Dr. phil. habil.

Die "Moderator"-Rolle wechselt dabei und Schöner Denken hat "I wie Ikarus" zur Disposition gestellt.
