The Italian Job (2003)

Hart of Dixie Chicks

Same red, white, and blue Minis, but different country! This week, we’re back in the US to rant and rave about the 2003 very light remake of The Italian Job, a film near and dear to Jaleh’s heart. We get nostalgic about DVD rental shops, Napster, and the summer blockbuster while our heist team heists their way to victory and Edward Norton gorges on delicious scenery. Crack the Worthington 2000 with us, dear hearts, and enjoy the fast and furious ride!
