Issue 8 is out! @hinchcliffe.bsky.social jumps in to the joyously absurd BLIND RAGE ("Let’s begin by synchronising your Braille watches!") and @sizemore.bsky.social puts the soundtrack to the Italian Job over the Bourne Identity, to make a point about... cinema? open.substack.com/pub/thesteal...

“You know, we are sitting here, you and I, like a couple of regular fellas...” Yes, there's a brand new issue of The Steal, and in this one @sizemore.bsky.social finally gets to let rip on the film that redefined the modern heist: Michael Mann's Heat. open.substack.com/pub/thesteal...
