It's week 3 of our mystery series, and we're searching every warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse looking for the one-armed man to exonerate Harrison Ford's Dr. Richard Kimble.  In this discussion of the 1993 film The Fugitive, we talk about the use of the Hitchcockian archetypal "wronged man" hero, unexpected comedic moments in this otherwise deadly serious film, crashing trains for art, if Jeroen Krabbe can ever be trusted, and whether it's okay to fall in love anew while you're deep in the process of finding your wife's murderer and running from the law.  We also engage in some horrifying impressions of a Chicago accent, offer up our respect for the hardworking and prolific character actors in film, and consider the possibilities of a Big Lebowski/Fugitive mashup.  Shave off that incriminating beard and give us a listen!
