This week Matt and Tyrie dive into Friedkin’s landmark 1971 thriller <em>The French Connection</em> - a picture about cops, criminals, obsession, and one of the greatest car chases ever put to film.</p><p><br></p><p>The boys discuss Friedkin’s meteoric rise, the film’s gritty, documentary-style approach to New York, and the endlessly fascinating cat-and-mouse game between Popeye Doyle and Alain Charnier.
