07/07/21 • 138 min

'Logan' (2017) is the third episode in our Widow Makers mini-marathon about the trio of films that inspired director Cate Shortland on Marvel's 'Black Widow' (2021), and it's arguably the best superhero movies ever made! Definitely the best Wolverine movie ever made... We dig our adamantium claws into how music man Hugh Jackman became super-hunk Huge JackedMan; our deep, confusing feelings for a film franchise with more bad attempts than great movies; and how director James Mangold might be the perfect choice to give Indiana Jones a similar perfect goodbye to a beloved character. Plus, we find an excuse to sing the '90s "X-Men" cartoon theme song again!

The Fugitive (1993) - The Widow Makers

Get ready for a hard-target, deep dive into every warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse! Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Our film's name is... THE FUGITIVE! And we're doing a Peter Pan dive into talking about Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, Two-Face, director Andrew Davis, the city of Chicago, action movies at the Oscars, why we'll never cover 'Volcano' on this podcast, and one hundred other seemingly unrelated tangents that we somehow (mostly) connect by the end!
