Full Ep: The Fugitive 7 13 21
On the occasion of legendary actor Harrison Ford's 79th birthday, we decided to revisit one of his CLASSIC non-"Star Wars" or "Indiana Jones" roles, as "Dr. Richard Kimble" in the 1993 dramatic thriller, "The Fugitive." Hear T.J. Rives and Jay Betsill give their critique, insight, movie factoids and trivia around this picture that was nominated for 7 Academy Awards, including Tommy Lee Jones winning for Best Supporting Actor for playing U.S Marshal "Samuel Gerard." The acting and the action keep you on the edge of your seat as Kimble escapes from the prison bus and has only a short amount of time to avoid the Marshals (and everyone else searching for him) to try to prove, "I DIDN'T kill my wife." We love re-living classic movies from the 80s, the 90s, and more and this one was a blast to do. It's "The Fugitive" on this edition of "We've Seen That!" and make sure to subscribe/review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, etc.!!

(Clip) Preview of Die Hard III - Dan Leach on Alt Ending
In this segment from our upcoming new episode looking back on the 25th Anniversary of "Die Hard with a Vengeance," Host's T.J. Rives and Jay Betsill welcome Dan Leach, sports radio host in Detroit, and HUGE "Die Hard" franchise fan. Dan discovered and promoted an alternate ending shot to the third movie, where John MacLane has survived the boat blast with Zeus, but the NYPD has fired him and the FBI believes that he was in on Simon's heist. In the different ending, MacLane has found and confronts Simon in Hungary (of all places) and a classic game of "MacLane says" ends with, let's just say, an EXPLOSIVE different conclusion to the movie. What did Dan Leach think of them NOT using this ending? Hear it in this preview of the episode and then listen to T.J., Jay, and Dan discuss it all on "We've Seen That!"
