We are very late to the wake, but better late than never. Earlier this year, in close succession, we lost a couple of legends of film: Gene Hackman and Wings Hauser. In this bonus episode, Rob and Joe talk about the contrasting careers of these two great talents: one of them widely celebrated, the other probably underappreciated. Then we have a close look at the only film collaboration between them: Ted Kotcheff's Uncommon Valor (1983), which starred Hackman and was written and produced by Hauser.

We do have a Spoiler Territory section for Uncommon Valor, so you can skip ahead to the 1:07:30 mark to avoid spoilers if you haven't seen the film.

RIP Gene. RIP Wings.
