FS #204: The Bank Job / Flawless / Talk To Her / Top 5 Heist Movies

April 4: On this week's show... Matty promises not to do his Michael Caine impression as long as Adam doesn't break out his Saffron Burrows. In honor of 'Heist Week' on Filmspotting, the guys review a pair of new British caper flicks -- "The Bank Job" (Burrows, Jason Statham) and "Flawless" (Caine, Demi Moore) -- and share their all-time Top 5 Heist Movies.

Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre, and the latest Almodóvar Marathon entry, "Talk To Her," inspires Matty to vow to stay by Adam's side in the event he is ever gored by a bull and his once-beautiful cherubic frame is kept alive only by machines.

Music by Justin Townes Earle courtesy of Bloodshot Records.

The Bank Job seems to have gone down quite well in the US. In the UK, it's been largely panned due to a low tolerance for 'cor blimey geezer'-esque films.

It sounds solid, I have to say.

Wait a minute. Reservoir Dogs? A guy movie? I resent that! I loved Reservoir Dogs and touted its greatness from day 1 when it was my boyfriend at the time was the one who couldn't handle the "too realistic" violence.
