    23. Juni

    52 PICK-UP Movie Club (With Erik Clapp) Part 1

    Erik Clapp of the mighty Cinema Force joins me to discuss John Frankenheimer’s 1986 sleaze & suspense classic 52 Pick-Up. Adapted from Elmore Leonard’s book by John Frankenheimer and Leonard himself, 52 Pick-Up is a tension & twist filled thriller that always keeps you guessing.  This film also gives us one of the most iconic villains in cinema history, brought to life by the legendary John Glover. Also starring Roy Scheider, Ann-Margret, Clarence Williams III, Vanity & Robert Trebor, 52 Pick-Up was produced by Menahem Golan & Yoram Globus for Cannon Films - and strongly disliked by a pearl-clutching Gene Siskel. What more could a film-fan ask for? This is Part 1 of 3 - Part 2 features another taping with Erik, Part 3 is my chat with the legendary John Glover.  Subscribe now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify & YouTube Head over to the Craig & Friends Patreon to get early access to all of these shows, exclusive content and more.
