🚨🎩 Gangsters, corruption, and silent-era suspense! In this episode of The Rank Podcast—formerly The Rank with John and Zac—John and new co-host Mike continue their journey through the Best Picture Rankings with a deep cut from Hollywood’s early days: The Racket (1928).
This crime noir silent film dives into the gritty world of Prohibition-era politics and police, and while it's nearly a century old, the tension and themes still pack a punch. Does it hold its place among the greats, or has time stolen its impact? Join John and Mike as they explore the film’s legacy and decide where it lands in their evolving Best Picture list.
