Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (Episode 15) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

Steve McQueen, David Soul and Sam Elliott were all attached to the car chase classic Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry when it was to be a direct adaptation of the novel The Chase and had no female protagonist.  But after years of fits and starts, B movie producer James Nicholson acquired the property, brought friend and frequent collaborator Peter Fonda on board, had the script changed to make the leads a bickering couple and rode into history with the film as a top grosser for studio 20th Century Fox.  Dan and Vicky buckle their seat belts for a wild and bumpy ride through Southern California with too cool Fonda, firecracker Susan George and stoic Adam Roarke.  They give their thoughts on the casting, the car crashes and the insanely nihilistic ending, considered one of the most shocking in movie history. They also take detours to discuss their love of 80's sitcom Growing Pains, the fall's crop of new shows, some lost 70's horror gems, Jackson 5's Dancing Machine and Susan George's teeth.   Hot Date 15 puts the pedal to the metal!  Dirty Danny, Crazy Vicky are at it again!
