39: Jack Reacher: Never Go Back

Listen Later

This week, Jack’s back in Edward Zwick’s 2016 franchise-killer Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. Is this a feature-length TV pilot in disguise? Can we feel the absence of Christopher McQuarrie? What’s the best time to go make a snack?

Unanswered Questions:

  • Does Reacher work as a hero when he’s integrated with his community?
  • What is the metaphorical significance of The Hunter?
  • Does the Reacherverse properly interrogate the responsibility of the military to civilian society, and vice-versa?
