We jump forward 26 years to go on a caper with Michael Mann's Thief of 1981. It's got everything: perpetually wet city streets, magic hour danish, and an entirely non-comedic performance by Jim Belushi (some things never change...zing!)

We're off to a truly grand start of our self-determined but entirely aimless journey through the Criterion Collection with Sir Laurence Olivier's 1955 filmed adaptation of William Shakespeare's Richard III. Come for the acting, but stay for the hats! If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we'll be reviewing and discussing Michael Mann's Thief (1981).

Director Steve McQueen’s new thriller WIDOWS is a Chicago-set heist film that puts to good use the city’s notorious corruption, which puts it in the company of Michael Mann’s stylish 1981 feature debut THIEF. In this half of our Windy City-centric pairing, we dig into THIEF and its strangely compelling criminal protagonist Frank, played by James Caan, to see what the film says about the kind of city Chicago was (and is), and the kind of filmmaker Mann would become. Plus, still more feedback on Bradley Cooper's version of A STAR IS BORN.

About 2000 people gave this episode on Michael Mann's classic 1981 crime drama 'Thief' a listen when we released it in October, before it was taken down for copyright violation. However, having pledged a grovelling apology to our hero Kanye West and removed the offending material, we can exclusively re-release what is objectively our most controversial episode yet. Tom hosts, with Jack as his trusty co-conspirator, and the duo manage to balance an in-depth review of the film and the wider Mann catalogue with thoughts on Morrissey, Woody Allen, Star Wars, Felt, why the Razzies are a melt enterprise, and a wide range of other food for banter.
