Show Notes:Life Updates & Pencil Parties- Eden recounts a surreal Minneapolis trip to witness the "sharpening" of a 20-foot neighborhood pencil statue.- Attendees included 1,500+ people, costumes, DJs, and a fake giant pencil sharpener hoisted into place.- Cassi already has cosplay plans for next year.Dollhouses, Gundams & DIY Projects- Eden builds a full miniature room box to pose model kits like Gundams in.- Explores the satisfying craft process of assembling furniture, windows, and baseboards in a modular design.Music Corner- New Katatonia album: promising with fresh energy, but Peter reserves judgment.- Rivers of Nihil: cool influence from Black Crown Initiate, but repeated saxophone use is a dealbreaker for Peter.- Vildhjarta: heavy, adventurous, and rewards deep listening.Gaming Talk- Peter's impressions of the Switch 2: improved Mario Kart experience with 24-player chaos, but still not a travel must-have.- Thoughts on the cult of Nintendo vs. more versatile handheld platforms like the Steam Deck.- Eden's attempt to play Synduality: Echo of Ada ends in a refund due to game-breaking texture issues.Cult & Camp Cinema- Eden attends a VHS screening of the awful-but-fun 1970s exploitation film White Fire with a themed drinking game.- Peter is tempted by the trailer but is firmly advised: "Don't watch White Fire."Reading Recommendations- Eden finishes all 11 published volumes of Adachi and Shimomura, including volume 99.9 (sci-fi time-jump bonus stories).- Enthusiastic recommendation of The Apothecary Diaries, a mystery series set in a fictionalized ancient China full of intrigue and clever deduction.What We're Watching- Peter enjoys Taskmaster Season 19 with Jason Mantzoukas, calling it chaotic, hilarious, and worth the YouTube binge.Main Topic: The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)- Eden loved it: tense, stylish, electric; Peter found it frustratingly flat in tension and offensively dated.- Discussion touches on 70s NYC despair, racism and misogyny in period pieces, Walter Matthau's charisma, and how modern remakes miss the gritty charm of the original.- Fun fact: Robert Shaw (Mr. Blue) also played Quint in Jaws.- Finale: Walter Matthau's "Gesundheit" stare is iconic.
Julian, Madeline, and Emilio are joined by Brendan McDonald, the producer of 'WTF with Marc Maron,' to finish off their cycle of New York City movies with a "Close-Up" on the works of legendary cinematographer Owen Roizman. A versatile visual talent ready for whatever came his way, Roizman burst out of the gate with William Friedkin's crime drama "The French Connection" (1971), in which he unforgettably and frantically photographed a plethora of New York locales. This showcase of his skills made him the perfect choice to shoot "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" (1974), the Joseph Sargent-directed, subway-set thriller infused with workplace humor that indelibly captures a timeless spirit of New York. But Roizman's aptitude also extended beyond the grimy streets and subway tunnels, and rose up to the broadcasting towers of Midtown Manhattan in "Network" (1976), the darkly prescient media satire written by Paddy Chayefsky and directed by Sidney Lumet. Blending their eyes for detail with their lived experience as New Yorkers, the group get into how Roizman's visual sense cemented the iconic status of these films, and why they stand the test of time even as they were made just a few years apart from one another.

Continuing our look into the gritty crime-addled lifestyle of 1970s NYC, we cover the neo-noir and comedic trappings of The Talking of Pelham One Two Three, which fuses the two genres into a hybrid that shouldn't work but does very well. We talk about the mammoth presence of Walter Matthau, the coolness factor of the four hijackers, and even throw out some love for Jerry Stiller's and Doris Roberts' small parts. We're also drinking Fidens Brewing Company's Triple Jasper with Peacharine triple IPA, a whopping 10%er!Approximate timeline0:00-10:00 Intro10:00-20:00 Beer talk20:00-end The Taking of Pelham One Two ThreeWe hope you enjoyed; if you did, subscribe and leave a review!

I discuss and review the classic thriller starring Walter Matthau 4/5
Nathan Gelgud, a comic artist, discusses the 1974 film The Taking of Pelham One Two Three on the show this week. We explore the film's representation of New York City during a tumultuous period marked by crime and economic decline, highlighting its authenticity through character accents and Walter Matthau's performance. Nathan reflects on the diverse motivations of the hijackers, the film's commentary on class and desperation, and its critique of municipal authority. The conversation also touches upon the socio-political context of 1970s New York, addressing the film's problematic portrayals while affirming its significant exploration of collective action and civic-mindedness. Nathan ultimately champions the film as essential viewing for its nuanced depiction of urban struggles.Nathan Gelgud:https://www.instagram.com/gelgud/https://www.patreon.com/gelgudhttps://www.etsy.com/listing/1818478318/pierrot-shirt?etsrc=sdtLeft of the Projector Linkshttps://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPodhttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojector.comhttps://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorhttp://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpodhttps://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojector
This week, we continue to collect members of the Ocean's gang like Infinity Stones, as we find Danny playing a convincing soldier and compelling leading man in a 90s geo-political thriller that feels like a total forgotbuster, despite starring two massive movie stars and launching DreamWorks as a studio. It's 1997's The Peacemaker, directed by Mimi Leder, and starring George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Marcel Iureș, Aleksandr Baluev, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Holt McCallany, Goran Višnjić, and Michael Boatman. One of the Cloondog's early jumps from ER star to silverscreen leading man, this movie is also deeply tied to ER as a production. Clooney unquestionably has the juice however, and the movie's 90s thriller sensibilities -- while not as refined as some of its contemporaries -- still feels like something of a lost art, a type of movie we just don't get enough of these days. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening to our discussion, it is not available to stream in Canada but can be rented on YouTube and Cineplex. Other works discussed on this episode include The X-Files, Groundhog Day, Source Code, The X-Files: Fight The Future, The Blues Brothers, Trading Places, You've Got Mail, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Thelma, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, The Beekeeper, The Art of War, The Foreigner, Superman Returns, Strangers on a Train, Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action, The House, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, The Bourne Identity, Clear and Present Danger, Mission: Impossible, Batman & Robin, The Green Hornet, Deep Impact, Armageddon, Pay It Forward, On The Basis Of Sex, The Leftovers, The Morning Show, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Three Kings, The Men Who Stare At Goats, 24, Burn After Reading, Michael Clayton, Out of Sight, Twisters and Legally Blonde. Next week, we're switching things up and going back to Hayley's new VHS stack to talk one of the all-time great westerns: 1992's Unforgiven, Clint Eastwood's deconstruction of the genre that made him famous and a worthy winner of Best Picture Oscar gold. Unforgiven is streaming on Crave in Canada and Max in the US. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

This week on the podcast, a trip back to arguably the greatest decade in cinema, the 70s, for the caper, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. A Tokyo transit delegation is visiting the Big Apple, getting a tour of the MTA headquarters, and learning how the city runs its transit. Against this backdrop, Hijackers commandeer a New York City subway train near Central Park, and threaten to kill a passenger a minute if their demands aren't met. Rip-roaring stuff, starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. This one uses naming character conventions of Mr. Blue, Mr. Green, etc., which Quentin Tarantino paid homage to (err, ripped off) in Reservoir Dogs. Accept no substitutes, and no crummy remakes with Travolta and Denzel. The doors are now closing, stand clear of the doors! Tune in, subscribe, tell your friends. New episodes of the show are uploaded every Friday.
We're speeding away at breakneck speed with another installment of our That Was Then series. This time Paul and Arlo are witnesses to The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, a 1974 subway heist thriller that is exactly what it says on the tin. Not that there's anything wrong with that! But our boys do struggle to find much to say, choosing to highlight David Shire's jazz-funk score and Owen Roizman's gritty cinematography while mostly being puzzled by the script's wasted potential. It's a fun Noo Yawk movie, and that's okay, folks! NEXT: NO FUCKING MERLOT! That's right, it's another That Was Then, this time focusing on Alexander Payne's 2004 buddy dramedy Sideways.

This week, Caroline and Carson cover Joseph Sargent's 1974 classic, ‘The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.' We discuss Walter Matthau & Robert Shaw's expert performances, the satire in this film that rivals Mel Brooks at times, and Carson's fear of the third rail. We have a REAL good time! Follow us on Social Media- Facebook- www.facebook.com/HHYNSPodcast Twitter- @hhynsmovies Instagram- @hhynsmovies Letterboxd- HHYNSPod Patreon- Patreon.com/hhynspod Thank You to our Patrons- Matt Brown, Stephen Woosley, Jack Smith, and Darrin Freeborn.
Four armed men hijack a New York City subway car and demand a $1 million dollar ransom for the passengers - they are lead by Robert Shaw's Mr. Blue. (That's his codename among the other hijackers) In response, the city's police try to figure out how to respond - they are lead by transit cop Lieutenant Garber played by Walter Matthau. And what results is a tense action-packed standoff between cops and criminals in a movie which was so influential that it inspired two star-studded remakes in the decades since....including the most recent 2009 remake starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta. The stacked cast for this original version also includes Martin Balsam, Hector Elizondo, and James Broderick - it was directed by Joseph Sargent.

On this episode Phillip and his cousin Chip talk about 1974's The Taking of Pelham One Two Three directed by Joseph Sargent. They start the show by paying respect to Tom Sizemore and Topal who've recently passed away. Then Phillip gives the general information about this movie. Chip talks about an actor that he noticed in a small role, and Phillip gives a brief biography on Julius Harris who played the Chief Inspector. It's then time to hear from the listeners, from Instagram and Twitter, in the Listener Opinions segment. Chip and Phillip then discuss the great parts, the plot holes, and the acting in this extraordinary film. Phillip reads some more facts and then they rate the movie. After rating the movie Phillip gives his Phil's Film of the Week; Amphibian Man (1962). It's then time for the randomizer to pick the next movie, and it does, The Mighty Peking Man (1977). Phillip has seen this movie, but Chip has not. It should be a fun conversation just like this one. Thanks for listening. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/makingtarantinothepodcast/message

We're about halfway through The Miyazakiverse, and thought it was a nice time to get Josh back in here to revisit a previous series. With the 2021 Japanese remake of Cube out, we venture back into The Cubeverse, but spend a considerable amount of time talking about the original The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. Oh well. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On today's episode, we're heading over to the Dreamland Theater for our all night horror movie marathon, while we have a sick Reggae concert in the middle of it for seemingly no reason, and we're also trying to fight for our lives against a scary man with no face, while we revisit the forgotten early 90s horror gem, Popcorn (1991). This movie was written by Alan Ormsby and directed by Mark Herrier.This movie stars Jill Schoelen (The Stepfather, When a Stranger Calls Back), Tom Villard (Grease 2, My Girl), Dee Wallace (The Howling, Cujo), Kelly Jo Minter (The People Under The Stairs, A NIghtmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child), and Tony Roberts (The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, Amityville 3-D).This movie is such an odd find and definitely marches to the beat of its own drum, and I think is absolutely the definition of a forgotten horror gem. Does the plot make a whole lot of sense? No!! Is some of the imagery in this movie legitimately scary? Yes!! Is Reggae music always the right choice? Absolutely!!! Take a chance and watch this film, and you might get something fun out of it!!Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan BoyleShow E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.comFollow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Twitter, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

There are few films that can be considered as perfect movies. But 1974's The Taking of Pelham One Two Three may be on that list. We're joined this week by Eric Rauchway, a professor at UC Davis and specialist of The New Deal. We break down what this movie has to say about American politics coming out of World War II, the meaning of the subway to the people of New York City, and whether or not Walter Matthau is the first American action hero. You're going to like where this takes us.About Eric Rauchway:The author most recently of Why the New Deal Matters (Yale University Press, 2021), he writes about U.S. history with a focus on the period from 1933-1945.

Plus: why is filmmaker David Lowery starstruck by Jamelle, the two faces of Harrison Ford, the days of loafing around watching TBS and TNT, why the world needs more star-driven, character actor-saturated, mid-budget thrillers, why movies with people in meetings shouting at each other is Jamelle's sweet spot, baby's first art film, the many talents of direct-to-video king Michael Jai White, why we need more Blaxploitation spoofs, the intoxication of a dirty city, how it's too easy to do stuff these days, bring back foot-chases, subway tunnel nightmares, will The Rock ever be in a good movie?
