This week, Ken and Andy salute one of cinema’s greatest and most versatile actors—the legendary Gene Hackman. From tough-as-nails detectives to drifters and naval officers, Hackman brought grit, depth, and undeniable presence to every role.

We’re diving into three of his most iconic performances:
🚓 The French Connection – The gritty cop thriller that won him an Oscar.
🎭 Scarecrow – A raw, underrated road movie where Hackman shines opposite Pacino.
Crimson Tide – Submarine tension at its finest, with Hackman squaring off against Denzel.

Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering his brilliance, this episode is a full-on Hackman appreciation fest. Tune in as we celebrate the man, the myth, the Popeye Doyle—and give each film the ultimate verdict: Pass, Pirate, or Pay.
