Police & Detective Films

Send us Fan MailWe at the Midnight Run Podcast think that we would make good detectives. Not as ourselves of course, although we have managed to conquer 2 Escape Rooms. The good detectives would probably consist of a combination of John McClane, Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade and Marge Gunderson. It is a subject rich with great characters and genres such as comedy, thriller, action and drama. In fact, nothing is off the table here as long as a cop or detective is prominent. Is Vertigo a detective film? Is Shutter Island?  We discuss these and Lewis reveals his theory regards the point of the subject.Our upbringing covers film and tv series, and we talk about why we wanted to be Columbo, Crockett, or David Addison. As it is a detective episode there are also lots of challenging quizzes for Matt to solve. We talk about film series and determine which installment in each is our favourite. We both lament Jim Steinman & Michael Bay  and a missing scene from one of our top films does not escape unscathed. Only 4 of the same films make our lists this time, so there are 16 films to talk about when revealing our 10s. Lewis reveals his list in a different way to usual and Matt changes his list at the last minute. Along with these topics we talk about the correct pronunciations of words, watching black and white films late at night, Eric Stoltz, the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You theme and Blacksmith's, or is it Locksmith's?It is fair to say that we will not rest until we have explored the subject thoroughly and meticulously. Now let's grab a bite to eat.
