70 Movies We Saw in the 70s: Ep 10—CAPRICORN ONE (1978)
Actor, writer, director, (and sibling of a previous guest) PAT HEALY joins us to discuss Peter Hyams’ magnificent space-faking/snake-snarfing/O.J.-elevating conspiracy thriller, CAPRICORN ONE (1978).
It’s a free-wheeling, side-splitting conversation with multiple detours into the comedy stylings of Sam Waterstron, the perfect miscasting of Telly Savalas, RUNNING SCARED (1986) vs. RUNNING SCARED (2006), Matilda the boxing kangaroo, the mid-’90s missteps of Jean-Clade Van Damme, and who should have had dibs on THE FLAMINGO KID, as well as a sprawling homage to the intro-writing genius of Frank Santopadre. Thank you again, PAT HEALY!!!!
