The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good.
This week, it's Anthony's turn to join Scott and Paul to take a look at an American cop classic from the seventies
Anthony is the host of Film Gold, Life And Life Only and Glass Onion: On John Lennon.
Electra Glide In Blue (1973)
The only thing good-hearted motorcycle cop John Wintergreen (Robert Blake) wants is to become a detective. To wear a big Stetson, smoke fancy cigars and be paid to think. So when he stumbles upon a dead body, he takes the case - and proves he's got the right stuff. But as soon as he's promoted, he finds that the corruption he must tolerate makes his Stetson not fit so well and the cigars not taste so good. Forced to confront his own disillusionment, Wintergreen heads out on his bike, the Electra Glide, and makes another shocking discovery that could cost him his life.
"I hate that motorcycle they make me ride. I'm here to tell you there ain't nothing in the world I hate worse than that elephant under my ass."
