Call It, Friendo

2. The Killing (1956) & Point Blank (1967) feat. Tenet (2020)

In this week’s episode, we start with a discussion of Christopher Nolan’s latest blockbuster, Tenet, before choosing our top 3 Nolan films. Then, we move on to Stanley Kubrick’s 1956 film noir, The Killing, and talk about well a 64-year old horseracing heist movie holds up in 2020. We also delve into the mad life of character actor Timothy Carey. Finally, we talk about John Boorman’s 1967 American crime movie, Point Blank, and ponder over whether the events depicted in the film actually take place, or if they are a figment of the protagonist’s imagination. We also answer the important question: Just how hard was Lee Marvin anyway? Timestamps - Tenet (00:00:48) The Killing (00:24:30) Point Blank (01:13:35)
