Description

This week on the podcast, a trip back to arguably the greatest decade in cinema, the 70s, for the caper, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.

A Tokyo transit delegation is visiting the Big Apple, getting a tour of the MTA headquarters, and learning how the city runs its transit.

Against this backdrop, Hijackers commandeer a New York City subway train near Central Park, and threaten to kill a passenger a minute if their demands aren't met.

Rip-roaring stuff, starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw.

This one uses naming character conventions of Mr. Blue, Mr. Green, etc., which Quentin Tarantino paid homage to (err, ripped off) in Reservoir Dogs.

Accept no substitutes, and no crummy remakes with Travolta and Denzel.

The doors are now closing, stand clear of the doors!
