In this month’s episode, sound mixerMichael B. Koff joins us to talk about one of his favorite films,Guy Ritchie’s crime comedy thriller from the year 2000,“Snatch!” We talk about Guy Ritchie’s style, why it works for us, and whysome people complained at the time that it felt like “Lock, Stockand Two Smoking Barrels” redux. We discuss the incredible talent onscreen here – from Jason Statham and Brad Pitt to Dennis Farina andAlan Ford – and what they all bring to the table, not to mentionhow much balance there is with all of their parts. We chat aboutthe blending of the two storylines throughout the film and why it’sso effective in the ‘hyperlink cinema’ style. And we look at thetechnical aspects of the film – the sound, the cinematography andthe editing in particular – and how it ties in to the storytellingstyle overall. It’s a raucous ride of a film that’s not talked about enough, socheck it out then grab a drink and join us in the Speakeasy! ### Film Sundries - Watch this film: [iTunes](https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/movie/snatch/id284156786?at=11lrTo) • [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Snatch-Feature-Benicio-Del-Toro/dp/B007NLT6J0/ref=sr_1_1?sr=8-1&ie=UTF8&keywords=snatch&tag=rashpixel_mwl-20&qid=1460926304) •[Netflix][netflix] • [Hulu][hulu] - [Screenplay](http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/snatch.pdf) - [Originaltheatrical trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni4tEtuTccc) - [Originalposter artwork](http://www.impawards.com/2000/snatch.html) - [Art of theTitle](http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/snatch/) - [Flickchart](http://www.flickchart.com/movie/8B847188BD) - [Letterboxd](http://letterboxd.com/film/snatch/) - [Vinnie Jones Marks his Player](http://www.exclusivememorabilia.com/media/catalog/product/v/i/vinnie-jones-signing.jpg)
