Episode 122: The Taking of Pelham One Two Three + The Night of the Juggler

We're all about grimy 1970's New York crime movies this week, as Nick Langdon drops in to discuss The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (2011), directed by Joseph Sargent and The Night of the Juggler (1980), directed by Robert Butler. No two films more perfectly encapsulate the unique cinematic vibe of the crumbling, chaotic metropolis in this era like these do.

We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for The Taking of Pelham One Two Three by skipping ahead to the 1:25:06 mark, and for The Night of the Juggler by skipping ahead to 2:22:14.
