Episode 27 - "The Fugitive"

Episode 27 - "The Fugitive"

It’s rare when a film comes along that strikes a chord with the critics while also becoming a massive commercial success. Such was the case with “The Fugitive.” The second highest grossing film of 1993 was universally acclaimed and also recognized with seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture (and a Supporting Actor win for Tommy Lee Jones). That doesn’t happen often and it begs the question of whether it was cinema's last great thinking person’s action film. So think yourself up a frosted donut with those little sprinkles on top, as Jim Camlek joins his younger brother to celebrate all the little things that make this film so treasured.
