The ReconCinemation team is taking to the streets and welcomes two huge names to throw: Morgan Freeman & Christopher Reeve with 1987's STREET SMART! Jon, David & Brent are deep-diving Reeve's status at the time, his efforts to move away from Superman & how that led to this film, the deal that he had to make with Golan & Globus (our favorite producers from The Cannon Group!) in order to fund Street Smart, Morgan Freeman's standout and intense performance as Fast Black, Kathy Baker's arguably greatest career-performance, the chemistry between Freeman & Baker, director Jerry Schatzberg's career & so much more! Plus, early video store memories, where this ranks amongst Freeman's greatest roles, the career of Christopher Reeve after a disastrous 1987, how the film holds up today and more!
Never let the truth get in the way of a good podcast... it's STREET SMART!
