Description
In this episode of the show we are marking Jakub's 40th birthday by talking about one of his favourite movies, James Cameron's True Lies. Over the course of our sprawling conversation you will hear us talk about how one of the highest-grossing movies of its year is somehow forgotten and whether its troubled hi-def release has had something to do with it. We also ask if its an action comedy or a comedic actioner as we deconstruct its framework, opine over Jamie Lee Curtis and her performance, exchange thoughts about Bill Paxton and comment on Arnie's self-awareness. We also wonder how this movie fits in the landscape of ever-changing blockbuster universe, how its set pieces stack up against other Hollywood stalwarts and we also spare a few words on James Cameron's unconventional relationship with film grain.
Tune in and enjoy!
