Summary
Chris is joined by Murph from The Weekly Podcast Massacre and Dan from 5 Day Rentals/DK & Dan Like Bands to explore the 1979 made-for-TV movie, The Jericho Mile, directed by Michael Mann. They discuss the film's production challenges, thematic elements, and draw parallels between this and Mann's later works like Thief and Heat. The conversation also touches on the acting performances, particularly of Peter Strauss and Brian Dennehy, and debates whether the film's ending is triumphant or tragic. The episode concludes with a game called The Greenbow Mile where Murph and Dan guess if a series of 1-star reviews were written for The Jericho Mile or Forrest Gump.
