Great podcast. Surprised that only Lori puts it in her top 100. As far as the other Cazale films, I would have The Conversation and Dog Day Afternoon on my top 100. Looking forward to the Halloween podcast.
I’d say The Deer Hunter was the only film of Cazale’s I didn’t like, and the Halloween podcast will be the second time we’ve reviewed the film. We reviewed it on Lunchtime Movie Review a few years ago.
is there another horror movie scheduled for October?
Surprised to hear Patrick say something nice about best years of our lives, didn’t think he liked that film.
I don’t think he hated it, but it wasn’t one of his top films.
