One of the biggest action movies of the 70s is out topic this week, as we cover Joseph Sargent's 1974 film The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. Where four people take a train hostage, threatening to kill one every minute if they aren't paid $1 million in an hour. It sets the template for 70s action films and has been influencing action films ever since - a benchmark in American film. We welcome filmmaker Brandon Kahn back on the show who is equally astonished at the discovery Robert Shaw is English and we talk the biggest release this week with Hamilton.
