Episode 64: Dead Bang (feat. Sergio Mims)

Kerry and Collin are joined by returning guest Sergio Mims to talk about John Fankenheimer's gritty cop thriller, "Dead Bang" (1989), starring Don Johnson as a cop on the edge, doing battle with white supremacists. Is it any better than Johnson's "Heartbeat" video? How do white supremacists celebrate Christmas? How many phones does Johnson destroy in this film? It's a deep dive into a movie that ain't that deep. Frankenheimer's work is further explored in the "We Just Say Book" segment and more goodies from the studios for the "Blu-ray Gift Exchange."
