The Contrarians

236 - Pt. 1 - The Fugitive (CC)

The Summer of the (MTV) Bangers begins! THE FUGITIVE got Tommy Lee Jones his first and only Oscar but, more importantly, it also took home the Best On-Screen Duo and Best Action Sequence trophies at the 1994 MTV Movie Awards. All that and a 96% Tomatometer score, just for Harrison Ford being chased for two hours? Listen to Alex & Julio pick apart every contrivance in this surprisingly beloved TV-to-film adaptation!

Oh, and join us at this year’s Livestream For The Cure! Our segment will be on 5/17 at 4pm CT.
