Theme: Good Movies Based on TV Shows Hosts: Oz & Curtis
This week, Oz and Curtis grab an Italian beef, hop on the nearest L train, and dive into The Fugitive — the Chicago-est movie ever made, where Harrison Ford sprints through the Windy City like he’s late for a Cubs double-header.
Join your two favorite non–U.S. Marshals as they unpack:
Dr. Richard Kimble, the world’s smartest janitor-doctor-detective who can perform trauma surgery one minute and Houdini his way out of police custody the next.
Sam Gerard, Tommy Lee Jones at peak “I don’t care,” whose entire job is being smarter than local cops, louder than helicopters, and deeply unimpressed by Harrison Ford’s excuses.
Chicago, playing itself: a majestic land of deep-dish, Irish parades, and cops so Chicago they look like sausage mascots with badges.
The One-Armed Man, a trench-coat Dracula who looks guilty even when he’s just buying milk.
A pharmaceutical conspiracy so intense it makes FDA paperwork feel like an action sequence.
From the iconic dam jump (where Ford survives a 40-story swan dive by becoming a limp pool noodle)… To the St. Patrick’s Day parade escape, where Kimble blends in with zero effort… To the laundry-room smackdown that ends with Tommy Lee Jones saying, “I knew you were innocent”… and still kind of sounding annoyed about it…
…it’s the rare thriller where every line, chase, and Chicago accent hits just right.
Final Verdict:
Oz — 8 prosthetic arms out of 8 Curtis — 92 switched samples Both — I don’t care.
Next week: The boys slide from murder conspiracies to groovy 70s mayhem with The Brady Bunch Movie, where the real crime is those pants.
