In an attempt to fulfil the full list of genres in their movie categories Dan and Lee visit the underworld of Chicago during the prohibition era in The Untouchables.

Highlights

Goons vs henchmen
Dan’s car is a dud
The description of the synopsis 100 times better than the actual synopsis
There is a quest…
Dan says Sean Connery is a bad actor
There is much mocking of the lack of Irish accents
There is a bunch of intelligent discussion of the film…
Then there is a Robin Hood 2010 mini review
Then there is a short re-enactment of Robin Hood 2
Then there is a tea cup sound effect retirement plan
Then things go horribly wrong.

So there’s Costner’s next direction after acting: Costner Pasta.

I agree… this is definitely a Costner film, with Connery. Not the other way around.

Billy Drago was awesome as Frank Nitti – and he’s the big bad guy in Brisco County Jr, too. (Look you might as well just go out and buy it.) Nitti was one BAD dude in reality, too. I read some stuff about him after a re-viewing of this movie one time. Scary dude.

  Billy Drago is always creepy. It is his talent in life.
  
  He makes Brad Dourif look positively sedate by comparison.

Another great show guys. I’ve gotta side with Dan on the whole Sean Connery Acting Skills thing. He has great presence, and does a great Sean Connery, but is he a great actor? Do I give him a Kevin Costner “Meh”? Probably.

Loved the teacup sound effect… you should visit http://www.freesound.org/index.php ; not to FIND a teacup sound (there is a fairly average one there), but to CONTRIBUTE one!

  @SG-3, I hate to think what Lee’s drunken ramblings sound like sped up 1.5x

..how did you not mention the start of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire?
Haven’t seen 1.01 yet, but it’s HBO, it múst be good

I had trouble concentrating on work *read: cleaning an office building* while listening to Lee’s accents, hilarious.

  @Arjan, yeah, I think he basically got to the heart of Russell Crowe’s turn as Mssr. Hood.
