In this episode of the show we are beginning a brand new month, which means we are switching gears and biting into the work of a new director. In March, we will spend some time talking about Andrew Davis and we begin with his 1985 Chuck Norris vehicle Code of Silence. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us try to position Chuck Norris in the canon of action heroes as well as attempt to contextualize his journey through movies. We also talk about Andrew Davis behind the camera and whether the movie has enough of an aesthetic to be able to talk about a directorial style. Additionally, we talk about the mid-80s idea of adding robots to movies, jazzy scores in action films and the idea of making a Clint Eastwood movies without Clint Eastwood being there to star in it.
Tune in and enjoy!
