"How to Make a Killing," "Get Shorty," "The Taking of Pelham 123"

About this episode

The hosts discuss a new film and two classic reboots while enjoying each other's company.

It's an in-person show! After watching Leitch's Illinois Fighting Illini destroy Grierson's USC Trojans on Wednesday, they got together for one of the always-special Look At Each Other's Faces While Talking shows. We had one new movie: The Glen Powell A24 film "How to Make a Killing." Then, two Reboots! First, 1995's "Get Shorty," a Los Angeles movie. Then 1974's "The Taking of Pelham 123," a New York movie. It's always good to get together with friends. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter or Bluesky, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.
