The Movie Club Podcast is an irregular roundtable podcast where we select two movies to dissect, analyze and discuss with a group of fellow movie bloggers and film fans.

At this point I think it’s pretty much known that we tend to have long gaps in between episodes of The Movie Club Podcast, but this time around it was easily our longest break yet… 10 months to be exact. Fortunately, the crew finally managed to re-assemble to discuss a pair of crime flicks: Walter Hill’s The Driver and John Frankenheimer’s 52 Pick-Up. What’s more, it was also our first ever live recording on Google Hangouts, complete with video feed!

Alas, Jay and I were not able to attend, but a strong contingency of Row Three contributors showed up in full force including Kurt Halfyard, Andrew James, Bob Turnbull and Jandy Hardesty, along with Jim Laczkowski from The Director’s Club Podcast. Head over to movieclubpodcast.blogspot.com to download the episode, watch the video and join in the discussion surrounding these two films in the comments over there. From what I’m hearing, the next episode will the long-requested epic triple bill of Mr. Nobody, The Fountain and Cloud Atlas.
