    Ep 148 // Dog Day Afternoon

    After a month-long hiatus — and just before we take another — Jacob, Sage, and Tate are back at it with a review of the 1975 classic Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al Pacino and John Cazale. This gripping, unconventional heist film sparks a wide-ranging conversation about the real-life events that inspired it, including the Attica Prison Riots and the Life magazine article that formed the basis for the script. We dive into Pacino’s powerhouse performance, the film’s bold storytelling choices, and why Dog Day Afternoon still resonates nearly 50 years later. This movie was directed by Sydney Lumet. GD4AM: 85/100 IMDb: 8.0/10 Metacritic: 86/100 Letterboxd: 4.3/5 RT: 96% Three amateur robbers plan to hold up a Brooklyn bank. A nice, simple robbery: Walk in, take the money, and run. Unfortunately, the supposedly uncomplicated heist suddenly becomes a bizarre nightmare as everything that could go wrong does. This movie is currently available for rent on most VOD platforms.

    Ep 147 // In Time

    In this timely episode, Jacob, Tate, and Sage dive into 2011's In Time, a sci-fi thriller where time is literally money. While the concept intrigued them, the execution left much to be desired. With a premise full of potential, the trio discusses how the movie’s ideas are overshadowed by its flawed storytelling and missed opportunities. Jacob feels the film had a solid foundation but couldn’t quite get it right, Tate thinks it could’ve been much more engaging, and Sage feels it ultimately falls short. Tune in for a conversation filled with disappointment, yet a healthy dose of appreciation for the film’s bold vision. This movie was directed by Andrew Niccol. GD4AM: 51/100 IMDb: 6.7/10 Metacritic: 53/100 Letterboxd: 2.9/5.0 RT: 36% In a future where people stop aging at 25, but are engineered to live only one more year, having the means to buy your way out of the situation is a shot at immortal youth. Will Salas is accused of murder and on the run with a hostage. This movie is currently only available for rent on most VOD platforms.
