Harrison Ford. A one-armed man. Provasic.

These are the ingredients for The Fugitive, Andrew Davis' iconic Chicago-based thriller which became a pillar of 90s cinema. Nick and Brennan welcome to the show Jeremy Marder (manager and programmer at the Music Box Theatre and co-host of Four Stars: A Chicago Film Podcast) to break down Tommy Lee Jones' Oscar-winning performance, the authentic representation of the city, and the impressive adaptation of a boomer hit series. How did they film the literal trainwreck that makes him The Fugitive? What if someone wanted just a quick bite of Dr. Richard Kimble? Who switched the samples in the vestibule? Plus, Jeremy gets to learn about Harrison Ford's biggest role...and his reddest!
