When's the last time you saw a film with an all-star cast, big-name director, notable screenwriter, period sets, shootouts, explosions, snappy dialogue--and poignant moments? Mike and Dan talk about how Brian DePalma's The Untouchables (1987) combines all of these elements into a satisfying experience. Dan compares it to Shakespearean history plays and the guys then bring in Lincoln, Seven Samurai, A Man for All Seasons before asking what happened to Kevin Costner, a great straight man who's convincing and non-threatening. So pour yourself a drink, now that it's legal again, and give this a listen!
