A rare interview with Stanley Kubrick (1965)

We are back on track this week with the highly regarded The French Connection.  KC picked this, Dennis had been dying to see it, and it was a revisiting for Stephen.  It's about two cops trying to thwart a massive drug deal in 1970's NYC.  I had to wipe my hands after watching this movie ('cause it was so gritty.  Get it?).  This movie has one of the best car chases of all time, but listen in to find out if that's enough to keep everybody on board.  Check out the website www.flixbookclub.com and leave us a comment, if it's worth a #streamit or #dontstreamit.  Tune in Wednesday where we cover Stephen's pick, a recent documentary called Video Games: The Movie.  

09 - The French Connection

Our non-fiction enthusiast Stephen plucks one from Netflix's bouquet of documentaries this week.  Episode 13 is a documentary titled How To Survive A Plague, a movie about the early days of the AIDS crisis and the activist group ACT UP that came out of it.  This is heavy duty stuff and has some of the best raw footage I've seen in any documentary ever - including a protest inside of St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC.  Check out the movie, listen to the podcast, hit us up at www.flixbookclub.com and leave us a comment!  Be sure to let us know whether you thought it was #streamit or #dontstreamit material.  Next week is a very special St. Patty's day episode where we'll be watching and talking about The Quiet Man.
