Erik Clapp of the mighty Cinema Force joins me for Part 2 of our discussion of John Frankenheimer’s 1986 sleaze & suspense classic 52 Pick-Up. Adapted from Elmore Leonard’s book by John Frankenheimer and Leonard himself, 52 Pick-Up is a tension & twist filled thriller that always keeps you guessing. 
This film also gives us one of the most iconic villains in cinema history, brought to life by the legendary John Glover. Also starring Roy Scheider, Ann-Margret, Clarence Williams III, Vanity & Robert Trebor, 52 Pick-Up was Produced by Menahem Golan & Yoram Globus for Cannon Films. It was also strongly disliked by a pearl-clutching Gene Siskel. What more could a film-fan ask for?

This is Part 2 of 3 - Part 2 features another taping with Erik & Part 3 is my chat with the legendary John Glover.

Julie Klausner of the How Was Your Week & Double Threat (With Tom Scharpling) podcasts joins me to talk The Monkees & all things HEAD, the subversive 1968 classic that Quentin Tarantino considers one of the greatest films of 1969. Written by Jack Nicholson & Monkees co-creator Bob Rafelson (who also directs), HEAD is a biting satire of pop-culture, Hollywood "magic", show-business, America and The Monkees themselves.
