The Fugitive (1993)
New episode out now! We watched the 1993 film The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. We discuss the two main characters and their dual and layered investigations that evolve over the course of the film, love the action and stunts as well as the tension that carries between them throughout, enjoy the camaraderie of the US Marshals team, and think Harrison Ford is just so great at playing a guy who’s Going Through It. We also get surprised over and over by recognizable character actors, wonder if certain cliches stem from this movie, really enjoy the score, and debate what happens after the movie’s credits. Katy uses official medical terms, Carrie worried about the surgeon's hands, Maddy shares a story about a prison visit, and Mack looks up some AO3 statistics. We also have many questions about paper charting in a hospital, get weirdly proud of being Irish during St. Patrick’s Day parade scenes, compare our rating systems, and talk about Batman yet again. Listen to hear more about hospital rollerblading, fridging, trenchcoats, hair dye techniques, and Harrison Ford’s powerful finger. Enjoy!
