The mid-90s were a huge era for the presence of serial killers in pop culture. With this element combined with the star power of Sigourney Weaver, Holly Hunter, and Harry Connick, Jr, the film Copycat would certainly be a smash box office hit. Dan and Jon celebrate it's unique mark made on cinama and imagine new ways it could be revisited in the present day.

We are almost through our third season, a 52-episode year-long journey up and down the cinematic alphabet. This episode is our final D episode and we are thrilled to discuss 1990's Darkman, directed by Sam Raimi and starring Liam Neeson. Dan remembers his first time seeing the film and Jon shares childhood experiences encountering Darkman ephemera in 1990. And of course, they share their ideas on how the movie could be brought back today.

RIP Robert Redford (1936-2025)

Dan and Jon pour one out for legendary actor, Robert Redford AKA Fort Red Border (iykyk). They honor his life by celebrating his career and gabbing about Sydney Pollack's 1979 anti-capitalist film, The Electric Horseman. Though it's not remembered as one of Redford's best, it is another pairing with the iconic Jane Fonda and also features Wilford Brimley and Willie Nelson. Dan and Jon also make note of how they would revisit the film in the modern era.
