Repeat after me and say it with the coolest lisp in cinema: here beginneth the 687th Have You Ever Seen podcast. The Untouchables is one Brian De Palma's most-successful films is also the first one of his to be discussed around here in 9 years...and, after Carrie, only the 2nd in total. And he was great at violent gangster flicks. It's still the days of Prohibition in America and Al Capone runs the underground liquor trade. Sean Connery won his only Oscar playing an "Irish" beat cop who has all the answers about how to take down the filthy rich mob boss, who's played by Robert De Niro. Connery, Kevin Costner, Andy Garcia and Charles Martin Smith are the title heroes, who dirty their hands more than they ever intended. So spend this first day of autumn hearing about booze, bribes and slo-mo shootouts in The Untouchables.

It's probably the Chicago Way, but it's definitely the Toronto way to subscribe to this podcast...and to not take your baby carriage to a train station at midnight. Rate it in your app (***** perhaps?). Write a review. Follow, spread the word, do all that.
