Happy New Year 2023! We kick off our third season with a look back at a movie celebrating its 40th anniversary this year—Blue Thunder with Roy Scheider and Malcolm McDowell. Chris reflects on how this movie was in constant rotation on HBO in the 80s after its first flight in theaters. How well does it hold up? Does it take to the skies... or does it crash and burn? Chris shares a little about the behind-the-scenes of the movie and how script changes affected the final result.
