August is here!! For some it means dog days, but in Massachusetts it just means SUMMER'S OVAH. Join us all month as we celebrate films shot in the motherland. We kick things off with a Matt pick - the very first, most authentic, and highly-informed Boston crime film of all time, Peter Yates' 1973 masterpiece, The Friends of Eddie Coyle. (Streaming for FREE - and without ads - on the CinemaBox app.)
Watch. This. Film. And when you're done, join Matt and Jonathan alongside their very special guest and dear friend of the podcast, writer/director Patrick Connolly. (Be sure to check out his newest feature, Desire Lines on Amazon.)
This is more than just a detailed breakdown of art, it's a fascinating regional history lesson on both crime and film that you won't want to miss!
