Ring of Fear (1954) Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

Ring of Fear is a 1954 film noir from directed by James Edward Grant. It stars hardboiled author Mickey Spillane and lion tamer Clyde Beatty as themselves, along with Pat O'Brien, Sean McClory, Marian Carr, and John Bromfield.

After a revenge-seeking madman begins sabotaging Clyde Beatty's circus, famous author Mickey Spillane must come in and bungle around for about an hour or so. It's basically the strange child of circus B-roll and enough leaden crime thriller dialogue to keep Mike Hammer's Colt .45 full of bullets.

Áine and Kevin make like sabotaged acrobats and plummet into subjects like "panem et circenses," animal cruelty, and Mike Hammer stories.

Show notes

Dragnet is a 1954 film starring Jack Webb, along with Ben Alexander, Richard Boone, Virginia Gregg, Stacy Harris, Vic Perrin, and Ann Robinson. Richard Breen — the wordsmith behind The FBI Story — wrote this thing, and wow, does it show! Web plays Sergeant Joe Friday, everyone's favorite stiff, stern Los Angeles Police Department detective.

Friday and his partner Frank Smith get assigned the homicide of a low-level gangster. They proceed to repeatedly harass their suspects, based on rather flimsy evidence for over an hour. Along the way, they run into a prosecutor who plays a serial killer in a later Dragnet installment, snide grand jury liberals, a nerdy beatnik musician, and poker enthusiasts!

Áine and Kevin spout off rapid-fire responses around Dragnet's distinctive dialogue, overly-long shots, and the abuse of power.

Police Woman: "The End Game" (1974) Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

"The End Game" is the series premier of Police Woman, which aired on September 13, 1974. Angie Dickinson stars as the eponymous "Police Woman," also known as Police Sergeant "Pepper" Anderson. Earl Holliman Charles Dierkp, and Ed Bernard round out the squad.

In this episode, Anderson and her colleagues must catch a gang of dangerous criminals engaging in bank robberies, murder, kidnapping, rape, and home invasion-style hostage-taking.

This overstuffed episode fails to establish its central character or take a nuanced or interesting look at life as a policeman amidst so many different plot threads. Áine and Kevin radio in on crying, The Beatles, and let-downs in the realm of comic relief.
