This week we cut into Raquel’s beach time to talk the classic ‘80s Chicago buddy cop movie, RUNNING SCARED. We have Chicagoland film programmer and podcast host Mike Vanderbilt to chat with us about one of his all time favorite Chicago films. This film has a rogues gallery of great 80s & 90s character actors playing both cops & robbers. Raquel spots one of her Cuban “friends” in the movie too. The debate of the realism of the Chicago Winter depicted in the film rages. Could this have been a better action movie if it wasn’t trying to be so funny? Is Billy Crystal even funny? Raphael sure doesn’t think so. But at least it has one of Raquel’s favorite chase scenes. And on top of all that we have Mike giving us some great movie minutia! This one gets pretty Chicago, so keep the ketchup away!
The Generation Splice is film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through and through, & her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky millennial punk rocker/former music journalist, & current film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a film to dissect & see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of film.
