This week, we're diving into "The Legend of Running Bear," where Walker's cousin David "Little Eagle" Jackson returns to his reservation only to be framed for the murder of a tribal leader by corrupt FBI agents covering their own tracks—leading to a high-stakes investigation blending Native American lore and Texas justice. Join hosts James Hauser, Clint Busch, and Ryan Mattila as we riff scene-by-scene through the 90s action classic with enough humor to make even a running bear pause for a laugh. Get ready for cultural clashes, frame-ups, and Norris-style takedowns!
