S4E9: Inside Man

RIP James Ransone

There should be a heist movie where literally everyone in the bank is in on the heist. Incredibly impractical, but that would be a really cool twist. Maybe it's some kind of proletarian action, where all of them have been screwed over by the bank and are able to pose as regular clients with a realistic reason to be there that day.

DEVON KJB 21ST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAN REFERENCE???? 90TH MINUTE KING CRIMSON???????

1:04:00 See Donavan Labella from the Portland, OR protests; dude survived, but his skull was fractured and he's been left with brain damage.

After you pointed out that the "colour commentary" scene shows how Denzel's character is complicit in the police racism by not calling it out harder, I think it's appropriate that Plummer's character is complicit with the Nazis and not just a straightforward Nazi.

it is smarmy enough to save $5.

Please tell me that someone said the $140,000 handjob is the hand job that kills you instantly

Was very tickled when you shouted out the actor using Bear as a mononym, because I also do that. Was nice to hear

I have actually been to the bank they shot this movie in, it’s a cafe now but it kept the bank teller area and some of the bank decor

Lose the COVID jokes. It's just mean-spirited at this point. You are punching down at immunosuppresed people. Congrats. I don't care if you don't wear a mask, but I'd appreciate not having salt rubbed in the wound. It felt like RFK popped in for a cameo.

I will once again remind anyone reading of the existence of Bound, a movie about lesbians doing a robbery directed by the Wachowski Sisters. If that’s not this podcast’s ideal movie then I don’t know what is

As I am listening to this I realised that KJB will also have to watch "Going in Style" of which I forgot the name (it isn't that good) and looked it up on Michael Caine's filmography on wikipedia, just to be informed about his horrendous politics

inside man? no thanks, i'm the bottom

Devil in a Blue Dress mentioned! Looking forward very much to Noir Season

Bi-weekly reminder (once every seven days) that there is a movie called "The Maiden Heist" in which Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman, and William H Macy are art museum guards that each plan to steal their favorite piece before the museum closes

Because you used it as the image, I now need the moffat series covered. It's mercifully short for a miniseries, and supringly manages not to be the most head-up-his-own-ass of Moffat's work (because Dracula and Sherlock 3 surpass it) while still being incredibly stupid

The $140,000 hand job had better involve the mink glove.

First ever nothing ever happens bank robbers

🎶Ambers to the left of me, Tiffanys to the right, here I am, suuuuuuucking down Piña Colada's🎶

I'm the lucky listener who's name got called out this week. You're right Damien is not a cop's name. It's better than an omen reference I guess.

You know damn well what happens in You Only Live Twice: he goes entirely Japanese

Willem Dafoe is famously a big dick in everything (because he’s hung). And, as ever, I politely request that you do How to Steal a Million.

I didn’t even interpret that woman’s line about her girlfriend as a gay thing, I just assumed it was meant in the way straight women used to (and still sometimes do) refer to their friends as their “girlfriends”.

you know what would rule as a bonus? First Reformed. Paul Schrader + religion, a winning combo

It is six girls named Amber and Tiffany because in 2006, you could walk into any strip club in America and find three of each

LOVING the pod at the minute, hope you get around to doing Ambulance this season!

thank you abby for the dunk on scottish labour specifically, fuck those traitorous britnats 5ever

You guys should watch Trading Places. Most of it isn't about a robbery, but it does happen on a train and features a lot of very clumsy commentary on American racism.

PROFESSOR CHIMP!

this film has deep spiritual meaning to my family because every couple years we watch it together and then spend the rest of the evening saying shit like 'the robbers were the real inside men all along. the cops were only ever outside men'

World's Slowest Criminal action.

Realizing, two hours after finishing this episode, that Inside Man doesn't even have a double meaning.

Oh hey, it's that film that keeps coming up in my YouTube shorts for some reason

There’s a 2012 heist movie called Man on a Ledge which is the perfect synthesis of Inside Man and Phone Booth. It’s a lot of fun. The Brookmyre novel is The Sacred Art of Stealing.

If you want to watch the stupid man’s version of this movie, check out Chaos with Jason Statham & Ryan Phillipe.

For heist season, I assume we'll be seeing Logan Lucky. Director of Ocean's 11 and starring Daniel Craig. It was basically gift-wrapped for you. And if we are looking for a completely smarmy, satisfied with itself terrible heist film, that is just way too happy to tell you about all the heist movies that it saw? You're gonna have to watch Swordfish. Young Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry and John Travolta. It'll make you want to get your d*ck s*cked.

That Simpsons joke of Lisa, looking at the glass case, but it's just, "The JonTron from TRON".

Couple things I though of. 1) see Bamboozled for Spike Lee's complicated views on his work. 2) that thing about the TV Cop names reminds me of Alan Wake 1 where the FBI Agent hounding Alan just refers to him by a number of Writter Names. And when he finally gets to the most Hack refrence they could have chosen, he's killed

For $140K they'd better be using a mink glove!

I know who Jontron is, but can someone explain what the burger thing is about?

I am very sure that the kid is playing the 2005 video game "50 Cent: Bulletproof" because the kids mentions the protagonist being 50 Cent and that he learned the lesson of "get rich or die trying" and then asks the robbers if that is not what they are also trying to do. And then the robber says he wants to talk to the kid's dad, and then my own white racist dad, watching from the couch, gave an approving harrumph.

Does Indiana Jones count as a heist film?

Didn't get name mention in the "credits". 😭

Need to do some bonus episodes of spike lee films for Abby. Black Klansman is a favorite of mine.

Please do Blues brothers. It's plays a lot like a heist movie and it has a ton of proto-culture war shit in it. Yeah fuck Dan Aykroyd, but it's got John Lee hooker and fucking Cab Calloway!

I got unreasonably excited when for a second I thought you were continuing your Al Pacino kick with the insider because I forgot how to read 😅

I have an issue where every time I hear the name Clive Owen, my brain just inserts Owen Wilson instead. So this is going to be an interesting listen.

My deepest sympathies to any nurses named Peggy who hear the first minute

This movie blew my mind when I was young.

in college i took a Music of Bollywood class outside my major simply because i loved the Chaiyya Chaiyya remix in the opening of this movie so much (best decision i made in that damn school)
