Hello! This week, we're talking about a traditional heist movie: The Taking of Pelham 123, starring our king Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw (not to be confused with the 1998 made-for-tv movie starring Vincent D'Onofrio, Donnie Wahlberg, and Edward James Olmos, which is INCREDIBLY '90s; or the 2009 version with Denzel Washington and John Travolta, which I haven't seen).
In this movie we see the impossible: somebody deigning to steal an NYC subway car. How do they do it? Where will they put it? There's really no way to know, except by listening to this episode. And by watching the movie. But mostly listening to this episode. We also talk about things like class, policing, and NYC as an integral part of the plot. Enjoy!
