30. Le Samouraï

Thirty episodes in, time for an all-time classic. One of our hosts is passionately, quite openly an acolyte of this film, so the surprise element wasn't exactly front of our minds, but thankfully that didn't hinder discussion.

Jean-Pierre Melville's 1967 slice of hitman cinema has defined and redefined the crime genre for decades, and our hosts serenely gaze upon many elements of its power and legacy. Plus, Alain Delon's one-in-a-billion face must update a certain ongoing ranking... Enjoy!
