    The Incomparable Mothership March 15, 2014 Old Movie Club: “Get Carter” and “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.”
    186 Kazoo Parade
    Jason Snell with Steve Lutz, David J. Loehr and Philip Michaels

    We reconvene our Old Movie Club to watch two gritty early-1970s films that have been unfortunately remade in the last decade: “Get Carter” starring Michael Caine, and “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three” starring Walter Matthau. We learn about slide-based pornography, metaphors involving stick-shift cars, angry New York transit officers, kazoo parades, and so much more.
