In 1997 Brian de Palma brought Al Capone and Elliot Ness’s prohibition battle to life with The Untouchables. Starring Kevin Costner, Andy Garcia, Robert De Niro, and Sean Connery this flick tells the story of Elliot Ness’s squad of Untouchables pursuing Al Capone’s ruthless bootlegging operation and his eventual capture for the obvious crime of tax evasion. This flick cost $25 million but brought back $106 million at the box office, along with a number of accolades and Connery’s sole Oscar win. But, does it hold up? Listen in as we discuss blood oaths and what we are prepared to do as we try to figure out if this one should be prohibited, or if the lesson endeth with a nice cold drink.
