Dog Day Afternoon (1975) with Scott and Drew

This week we unpack Sidney Lumet’s Dog Day Afternoon, a tense, character-driven heist drama set in New York City, starring Al Pacino, John Cazale, Charles Durning, and Chris Sarandon. A story surprisingly forward thinking for a movie made 50 years ago. We dig into this film’s gritty realism, unforgettable performances, true-crime roots, and its place in 1970s New Hollywood cinema.
