This week we have a change of pace for the show. Instead of an episode on a single movie, Alana and Sam turn their focus onto the career of a filmmaker - namely the legendary Sidney Lumet. This is the first of many special episodes we have planned focusing on the figures (writers, actors, directors, even studio execs) who made New Hollywood what it was. There will no doubt be individual episodes on Lumet’s most famous films of the 70s in the future, but this week your hosts highlight four entries in his oeuvre that they probably wouldn’t have a reason to discuss otherwise: 12 Angry Men (1957), Serpico (1973), Murder on the Orient Express (1974) and Equus (1977). Topics include: Al Pacino’s 70s star persona, adapting plays for the screen, and social realism.
