ReconCinemation

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!
