Episode 129: Stagecoach + The Italian Connection

It's a high speed episode this week, whether that's horses and stagecoaches sprinting across Apache territory or Fiats and vans driving dangerously around the narrow streets of Milan. Actor and film maker Greg Furman joins us to discuss a couple of classics from two different worlds of cinema. We start off with the seminal Hollywood western blockbuster, Stagecoach (1939), directed by John Ford and follow that up with Fernando Di Leo's The Italian Connection (1972) - during which we pay tribute to German-Italian legend, Mario Adorf, who we lost in April this year.

The statute of limitations on spoilers has probably expired for Stagecoach, but we do call out Spoiler Territory for The Italian Connection. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 2:32:43 mark to avoid spoilers.
