The Day Of The Jackal

Send us Fan Mail

This week on That '70s Movie Podcast, Michael and Jonathan play cat and mouse with the 1973 political thriller, "The Day of the Jackal."

After several weeks of character-driven movies that led us to conclude plot-shmot, we both agreed that this movie leans into the plot and declares quite assuredly—character-schmaracter. 

We loved how the process in the film—both the assassination plan and the police investigation—is the payoff, and what a payoff it is! Even though we know what happens in the end (before the movie even begins), this film does a fantastic job of creating tension and suspense, even in the most mundane details.

So grab your passport, check your watch, and come join us for the latest episode of That '70s Movie Podcast!
