Though we’ve done the Superman series (check our archives for those shows) we would be reminded if we did not cover the OTHER franchise director Richard Donner made into a successful series of films. With a script by a hot shot scriptwriter named Shane Black, Donner set off to turn Lethal Weapon into a slam bang stand alone film. We know how that turned out.

But before we get to the sequels, we have to cover the 1987 original. Casting already covered by us in Mad Mad Mel Gibson and dramatic actor Danny Glover, Donner had to see the actors’ chemistry alone was going to make for a good time at the movies.

Or did it? Listen to Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they go over the ways all of them discovered this franchise, before dissecting one of the 80s most beloved action films. Do all of them agree? Come on, you know us by now.
