Woohoo! We made it to 50 episodes, folks! Thank you so much for listening and enjoying our ramblings on We Love Dad Movies. We didn't have anything majorly special planned (Ewan totally didn't clock this was the 50th ep to begin with), HOWEVER - the movie that is the focus of this week's episode couldn't be more fitting to mark that occasion: Brian De Palma's 1987 classic, The Untouchables.
A foundational and much-cherished movie for Ewan, De Palma's film is filled with lots of pulp goodness and features an all-star cast headlined by Kevin Costner and Sean Connery, who play a Treasury Agent and Chicago cop respectively desperate to take down Al Capone (Robert De Niro) at the height of prohibition. Artfully shot and topped off with one of Maestro Ennio Morricone's most affecting scores, The Untouchables is a true all-timer in the Dad Movie canon.
Scott Wiley of Action Addicts returns to the podcast this week, after previously coming on to talk U.S. Marshals. Join him and Ewan as they dive into the tonal combination that makes The Untouchables so endearing, their favourite scenes and quotes, and - of course - as they share lots of impeccable Connery impressions.
