The Friends of Eddie Coyle

This week on That '70s Movie Podcast, Michael and Jonathan go to the bank on the 1973 classic "The Friends of Eddie Coyle."

We had nothing but praise for this film's naturalistic feel, top-tier location work, razor-sharp pacing, and outstanding acting performances. In particular, we loved Robert Mitchum's lead role, but also went to bat for Richard Jordan and Peter Boyle. 

We talked about the enduring influence of Eddie Coyle on other filmmakers and wondered whether the reason this movie didn't get as much attention when it came out was that, in an era of great filmmaking, it didn't necessarily stand out!

So watch out for pigeons, don't get your hand slammed in the desk drawer, and join us for our conversation about a true New Hollywood classic!
