Just like they do in heist movies, your Film Freaks quietly and meticulously planned this podcast, wearing masks, gloves, speaking in code, all the while planning the ultimate heist episode. Enjoy the thrills and chills of staying one step ahead of the authorities as Phoef and Mark take you through some of the best heist movies ever made – from the 1950’s all the way through to today. Everyone from Sterling Hayden, Marilyn Monroe, Alec Guinness, Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges, Robert Redford, and Jeremy Renner show up to prove that crime doesn’t pay (well, most of the time).
Warning: This episode contains some clips that have strong language.

INTERVIEW WITH RC MATHESON
RICHARD CHRISTIAN MATHESON is a bestselling short story writer, novelist, screenwriter/producer and drummer. How many people can say that? (And he studied, one on one, with the legendary drummer Ginger Baker!) RC is also the president of Matheson Entertainment, a production company he formed with his father, which is involved with multiple film and television projects.
MEETING JAMES M. CAIN

BERTRAM MILLHAUSER AND THE INVISIBLE SCREENWRITER
I watch a lot of old movies. If you check my DVR, you’ll find it full of Turner Classic Movies and not much else. But I have an even stranger quirk. I pay attention to the screenwriters of these films. That’s right, I actually pay attention to who wrote the movie.
