2 Fast 2 Forever #328 – The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)
It’s time to talk about more men in rooms (!!!) as we’re joined by Aaron Neuwirth (of Out Now with Aaron and Abe) to talk about The Taking of Pelham One Two Three! After talking for a while about men staring at analog boards, we talk about the film’s success exclusively in cities with subway systems and how the film’s New York spirit shines through. We also talk about the many movies The Taking of Pelham One Two Three inspired, the beautiful simplicity of the bad guys’ motives, and why the 1970s feel of this movie works so well. Aaron shares thoughts on the Denzel Washington / Tony Scott remake.
