In this episode, we're breaking down The Fugitive, a film that not only set the bar high for action thrillers but also showcased Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones at their absolute best. Brad gives us the rundown, from the iconic train crash scene to the heart-pounding manhunt that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Patrick H. Willems brings his unique perspective, adding layers to our understanding of the film's narrative and technical mastery.
Then, we shift gears to the world of whiskey, where the Green River Straight Rye awaits. This Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey brings a complexity and depth that pairs perfectly with the intricacies of The Fugitive.
We wrap up with our traditional Two Facts and a Falsehood, challenging Patrick (and you listeners!) before diving into our final analysis. What makes The Fugitive stand the test of time? How does Green River Rye embody the spirit of Kentucky's whiskey tradition? All this and more, topped off with our scores for both the film and the whiskey.
