We’re robbing a bank this week as we watched Sydney Lumet’s 1975 biopic Dog Day Afternoon. Al Pacino is magnetic as the “mastermind” of a failed bank heist. Queer identity, the poverty cycle, and the absolute boneheaded-ness of police are on display in this humanist heist film.

 
Recommendations: Light and Magic (Disney +); American Horror Story (Hulu) – the latest season
 
Next up: The Wild Bunch (1969)
