Lethal Weapon: The Holiday Season Comes to L.A.

The holiday season is here and this week, the ReconCinemation team unites to look back at one of the most explosive holiday films of all time: LETHAL WEAPON! And the debate is on about where this one ranks on the holiday movie list! Jon, David & Brent deep-dive into the career of Richard Donner, the origins of Shane Black's script, the discovery of Mel Gibson & Danny Glover, where each of them stood at this point in their careers, what's aged well & what hasn't, the evolution of the action film & much more! Plus, early memories of the film, Tom Atkins, the film's place in launching the buddy-cop subgenre, the Michael Kamen soundtrack & so much more!

 

If Riggs & Murtaugh can learn to stand each other, these podcasters don't stand a chance... it's LETHAL WEAPON!
