I Think I Saw That Roger Wistar

Even if you don't care who really killed Richard Kimble's wife, we're here to tell you that "The Fugitive" totally holds up as a thinking-person's action thriller. We really enjoyed the performances of all the ensemble in this movie -- not so much the amount of shouting, though. We pour one out for the last 20 years of Harrison Ford's career; let's just say that the 21st century has not been very kind to him cinematically. We bow at the feet of Tommy Lee Jones, who really earned his Oscar award in this performance. We debate when exactly Samuel Gerard flipped from pursuing marshal to sympathetic marshal. We try to break down the memorable train derailment scene and discuss how the it was pulled off. And we debate some of the hair and costume choices of some of the cast in this film. A good time was had by all. 

We're back -- did you miss us? After a slight hiatus caused by our new podcasting project (currently Untitled Podcast Project, not yet available for download), we have returned for what will be a cycle of less frequent shows. Like maybe about one per month. Just enough to keep you coming back for more. And let me tell you, we've picked a fan favorite, 1993's action thriller "The Fugitive". Two actors at arguably near the apex of their creative and commercial clout, Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. Even though this is one of Marcie's favorite movies, she comes through in her cinematic amnesia.  Besides the movie, we get a chance to talk a bit about whiskey, apple wood smoked bacon, honey butter, and then Marcie really kills it on the weekly quiz. So come on out and listen in as we conduct a hard-target search of every hen house, back yard, and bar stool. Checkpoints go up every 15 minutes!

And, we're back -- in two pieces, unfortunately. Roger's reference to the lost minutes of our T2 test episode proved eerily prophetic as we lost about 10 minutes of tonight's post-show as well. But we recovered with aplomb for some insightful analysis that you won't get anywhere else. Like, this movie is not for kids. No seriously, there was some fascinating conversation about the use of full-frame one shots, the excellent performance by Jodie Foster (Where Is She Now?) and Anthony Hopkins, and a discussion about the tropes that this movie pioneered. And of course, Marcie explains to us how she would make her own skin suit with some skillful use of darting.

Are you about a size 14? Well this week's edition of I Think I Saw That certainly is! We're back with an action-packed set of episodes -- definitely our longest yet -- and that seems entirely appropriate for this cinematic masterpiece, 1991's "The Silence of the Lambs". In this pre-show episode, you can here many skillful impressions of both Hannibal Lecter and Buffalo Bill by Roger, and you can also hear Marcie tell us about her memories of "The Fugitive"... oh wait, that's not this movie. We also enjoyed some trivia about both Chianti and Liver and Fava Beans... (insert disturbing sound effect here).

We've just enjoyed a scrumptious feast and a fabulous movie -- it's good to be offering mostly praise again. We enjoyed the performances and the action and adventure. Not so much the crazy Dutch angles, and the inordinate amount of sweat. How do they get so hot on an underwater submarine? The only person who should have gotten that wet was our man Rick Schroder, who really had to work hard to seal that bilge bay hatch. Too bad he seems to have sealed the door on his movie career as well. Extra kudos to Marcie for her listener's ear and her ability to identify many different Hans Zimmer scores.

In this episode, we watch a very fine movie... very fine!  With very fine actors... very fine!   On a very comfortable couch... very comfortable!   While eating our dinner... the entire dinner! It's the 1995 geopolitical action thriller, Crimson Tide. It turns out that Marcie has quite a different movie in mind; one can only dream of the slasher movie she imagines with Gene Hackman cowering in his stateroom in fear of a homicidal Denzel Washington. But before that, we have some in-depth discussion of various garden weeds, and Marcie makes a startling observation about our sartorial choices.
