S4E9: Inside Man
Added 2025-03-07 17:58:57 +0000 UTC
This week, Clive Owen has planned out the perfect heist. What's his secret? Doing Russian Sleep Experiment shit. Can Denzel Washington figure out what the hell is going on before Willem Dafoe and the NYPD just go in guns blazing?

Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide. As a ceasefire has been announced, we hope soon plenty of Aid can get in and help alleviate the dire famine they're being subjected to. But until then, they still have to afford to eat, so we ask for you to keep helping them out, just a little longer.

There should be a heist movie where literally everyone in the bank is in on the heist. Incredibly impractical, but that would be a really cool twist. Maybe it's some kind of proletarian action, where all of them have been screwed over by the bank and are able to pose as regular clients with a realistic reason to be there that day.

After you pointed out that the "colour commentary" scene shows how Denzel's character is complicit in the police racism by not calling it out harder, I think it's appropriate that Plummer's character is complicit with the Nazis and not just a straightforward Nazi.

They're called privacy settings, 007. Yes, I've been paying $7 a month since the beginning and named myself after the twitch stream because I'm a hater.
I really appreciate the podcast and 99.99% of what November brings to it. She's very funny and equally insightful on every podcast she's on.
I just get tired. I am close to people who are still suffering from long COVID, and know people for whom it's a big deal if they get it. So it bothers me every time someone is dismissive of the small group of people who still have to care about it.

Lose the COVID jokes. It's just mean-spirited at this point. You are punching down at immunosuppresed people. Congrats.
I don't care if you don't wear a mask, but I'd appreciate not having salt rubbed in the wound. It felt like RFK popped in for a cameo.

Don't remember if I actually commented this on the Duke of Burgundy episode or just wanted to, but Bound was like the first lesbian "erotica" I interacted with (I was like 11, so that's really the only part that interested me). Only later did I realise that its sensuality didn't appeal to me in a straight guy way.

I will once again remind anyone reading of the existence of Bound, a movie about lesbians doing a robbery directed by the Wachowski Sisters. If that’s not this podcast’s ideal movie then I don’t know what is

As I am listening to this I realised that KJB will also have to watch "Going in Style" of which I forgot the name (it isn't that good) and looked it up on Michael Caine's filmography on wikipedia, just to be informed about his horrendous politics

Bi-weekly reminder (once every seven days) that there is a movie called "The Maiden Heist" in which Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman, and William H Macy are art museum guards that each plan to steal their favorite piece before the museum closes

Because you used it as the image, I now need the moffat series covered. It's mercifully short for a miniseries, and supringly manages not to be the most head-up-his-own-ass of Moffat's work (because Dracula and Sherlock 3 surpass it) while still being incredibly stupid

I didn’t even interpret that woman’s line about her girlfriend as a gay thing, I just assumed it was meant in the way straight women used to (and still sometimes do) refer to their friends as their “girlfriends”.

You guys should watch Trading Places. Most of it isn't about a robbery, but it does happen on a train and features a lot of very clumsy commentary on American racism.

There's also a 2011 movie called "The Ledge" where a guy (Charlie Hunnam?) is forced to stand on a ledge for personal non-heist reasons by a religious zealot Patrick Wilson

There’s a 2012 heist movie called Man on a Ledge which is the perfect synthesis of Inside Man and Phone Booth. It’s a lot of fun.
The Brookmyre novel is The Sacred Art of Stealing.

For heist season, I assume we'll be seeing Logan Lucky.
Director of Ocean's 11 and starring Daniel Craig. It was basically gift-wrapped for you.
And if we are looking for a completely smarmy, satisfied with itself terrible heist film, that is just way too happy to tell you about all the heist movies that it saw? You're gonna have to watch Swordfish.
Young Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry and John Travolta.
It'll make you want to get your d*ck s*cked.

Couple things I though of. 1) see Bamboozled for Spike Lee's complicated views on his work. 2) that thing about the TV Cop names reminds me of Alan Wake 1 where the FBI Agent hounding Alan just refers to him by a number of Writter Names. And when he finally gets to the most Hack refrence they could have chosen, he's killed

I am very sure that the kid is playing the 2005 video game "50 Cent: Bulletproof" because the kids mentions the protagonist being 50 Cent and that he learned the lesson of "get rich or die trying" and then asks the robbers if that is not what they are also trying to do. And then the robber says he wants to talk to the kid's dad, and then my own white racist dad, watching from the couch, gave an approving harrumph.
