Unclear and Present Danger

The Fugitive (feat. Michael Liroff)


Listen Later

Jamelle and John are joined by Michael Liroff of the Five Four podcast to discuss “The Fugitive,” a masterpiece of Dad cinema. They talk the liberal politics of the 1990s, the surprisingly nuanced racial politics of the film, and complain, as always, that they just don’t make them like this anymore.

Connor Lynch produced this episode. Artwork by Rachel Eck.
