Film History on Videotape Podcast show

Summary: Film History on Videotape / The Summer of 1993 / Review #134 / The Fugitive Alright, listen up, people. Our fugitive has been on the run for ninety minutes. Average foot speed over uneven ground barring injuries is 4 miles-per-hour. That gives us a radius of six miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, hen house, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him. It wasn't me.  It was the one armed man.  How does a film adaptation of a 60's TV show not only be such a crowd pleaser and win all kinds of awards and accolades, but also spawn one of the most recognizable quotes from the 90's?  Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones star in The Fugitive.  An almost perfect example of tense and thrilling movie making, it was loved in its time, but does it hold up well after two decades of aging?
