Description

Yes, we had a hankering to delve back into gritty, seedy, 1970's police thrillers! Our partner in crime, Nick Langdon, stops by to discuss The Offence (1973), directed by Sidney Lumet and The Laughing Policeman (1973), directed by Stuart Rosenberg. From the sleazy underbelly of San Francisco to the mean streets of, er, Bracknell, the fear and loathing is everywhere and we wouldn't have it any other way. Apart from that, it's a pretty good time!



We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for The Offence by skipping ahead to the 1:32:17 mark, and for The Laughing Policeman by skipping ahead to 2:15:49 .
