The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)
We cover classic movies on this classic podcast and we’re classic men and because of that we adhere to classic rating system. Anyway, they don’t get more classic than the film this week, THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE. Should the undercover cop have stayed on the train or jumped off? Is New York a character in this movie?? Was Walter Matthau born with his face looking like that???

Hell yeah
I wanted to post a pic of Jerry Stiller in this saying Serenity Now, but I can't so just imagine it
Todd Beamer is a Wheaton legend, which is my hometown. If he was secretly gay it would be quite the scandal
as the unofficial ABZ Cajun guy, it should be made clear that Devereau is not a Cajun name
I’ve never been offered an ounce of fish but I have been in a pub as a junkie went around people trying to sell meat shoplifted from a supermarket’s frozen section and hidden in his tracksuit top. 😄
The epi-tome of hyper bowl, baby.
check out Brian Regan's latest on Netflix
The cool thing about seeing a therapist when you didn’t think it was necessary is finding out your childhood was actually terrible and your brain was ruined.
So glad I stopped the show 15min in to watch the movie first... you guys didn’t oversell.
Anybody watch that scene from Zoolander where Duchovny says to Derek, “Are you serious? I just told you a moment ago” several times a year? Me too.
I always look into a puddle and do the "Who am I? I don't know" joke.
That mayor would have a higher approval rating than DeBlasio.
Don’t need a Gun Guy just found this site, it is like Wikifeet for firearms http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Taking_of_Pelham_One_Two_Three,_The_(1974)
That would be a nice addition to the sauna.
Buying men's wear fucking sucks! I try to get away with slacks and a sweater or cardigan as much as i can because every suit jacket hangs off me miserably. I look like a traveling salesman in every suit.
The remake is better.
For me, it was reading facade as fack-aid for far too long.
The random shooting "we will never know who shot" adds so much realism. Love how it all played out and they never explain or show anything
My main movie-watching project this year is to catch up on cool 70s shit I haven't seen, so thanks for making me watch this.
Our Boy Ranazizi made the talks, i was getting worried at 15 mins and hadnt been mentioned yet.
What would you rather lick: the floor of a 70s subway car or one of Gwildor’s gill slits?
Gwildor
More Hugh Grant! More Hugh Grant!
Shadow Wolves (maybe): Did Rodgers break up with his most recent girlfriend over the bowl of candy? I couldn’t tell if that was an old story about a different ex, or if he’s broken up with multiple girls over candy.
love the "Rodgers love corner" segments, some interesting people out there
In the remake Travolta says “lick my bung hole mother fucker” really weird. Just thought I should share.
What a man says between himself and his masseuse is his business, Christopher. The camera rolling at the time is just happenstance.
Two Mr. Wilsons in this movie? Hurrr??
I thought gene Hackman was in this movie for some reason, seems like the kind of movie he would be in Edit: yeah I think I thought he played jerry stillers part. Enjoying the older movies recently, would like to see an episode for Hit! (1973) eventually.

My fix for the cop on or off the train argument? Use that black dude who said he was in Vietnam. Cop turns to him, gives him a gun, and says “Get these people to safety” before jumping off the train and eating shit. Then that black dude can use the gun to blow the lock off the train door, and the passengers can have some agency and use the radio to call for a red light.
You’re a Libertarian, right?
“I shoot your pee-pee off” is one of the funniest lines
I think Zoolander suffered from being released just after Sep 11th. Only Jay-Z managed to release something that week that made money
And while it wasn’t poised to be a hit anyway, Zoolander 2 suffered from opening the same day as Deadpool, which had 10x the opening. I would understand if people didn’t even realize that there WAS a second Zoolander.
"Amazing if true"
The remake is perhaps the pinnacle of human cinema
Robert Shaw was 47 years old when this movie came out?! That's a decade younger than Brad Pitt when he played Cliff Booth.
This sounds like an in-person record - good timing on the overlapping conversation.
The Pure Sex that is Walter Matthau helps us all last 3.5 hours. Wonderful!
Tantric sex length.
3.5 hours? Our cups overfloweth
