In this show we are tying into our March conversations about the cinema of Andrew Davis with a great debate on his biggest success, which is The Fugitive. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about how an action movie made its way to the Oscar conversation, how Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford shared some great chemistry and whether Ford himself was at the time more of a blockbuster icon or a prestige performer, or maybe someone in need of reinvention. We also talk about how a well-grown beard adds to gravitas and charisma, how a medical conspiracy written on the lap might undermine a perfectly good movie and whether The Fugitive, for all it does, is just a tiny bit too long.
Tune in and enjoy!
