They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!
TV & Film
Lee & Leah buddy-up for the final episode of 2023 to lay down the law with the Richard Rush-directed "Freebie and the Bean" (1974), starring Alan Arkin & James Caan. How well does this decidedly non-PC buddy cop comedy play in 2023? Does the humour hold up at all? Does the fact that it pretty much spawned what we all know as the buddy cop picture today earn it some brownie points? How about those crazy stunts? All of that is talked about and more after a longer-than-usual segment covering what the hosts have watched, where Lady Leah trashes Hallmark movies made in her town, and then gives a rather critical review of the Christmas classic "Die Hard". (NOTE: Lady Leah's audio has a very slight echo do to some technical problems we encountered while recording. It shouldn't ruin the listening experience for most, but we thought it should be mentioned.)
