In this episode of Our Hero De Niro, Mike and Mike unpack The Fan, Tony Scott's frenetic psychological thriller starring Robert De Niro as a deranged baseball obsessive and Wesley Snipes as the all-star outfielder who becomes his target. They explore the film's over-the-top style, De Niro's intense performance, and the movie's commentary on sports fandom gone awry. Plus: knife talk, Nine Inch Nails, and the long-lost art of being served legal papers at a motel.
