Ep 2: The French Connection
Show Notes

Hey folks, 

So as Derek lives in France and I live in Australia, we have our own little french connection going on, which was part of the reason we picked this classic to watch. As with most of these films I'd never seen it but I knew about it and wanted to see it whereas Derek had seen it a couple of times at least. 

It stars the great Gene Hackman as a very compromised anti-hero cop named "Pop-Eye" Doyle and his attempt, with the support of his partner played by Roy Schneider, to take down an international heroin deal. 

Hope you like the episode, let us know what you think!

All the best, 

Kim and Derek
