The Weekly Movie Throwdown Episode 005: Elmore Leonard Month Begins with Out of Sight

It's a new month, which means we're diving into a brand new topic on this week's show. March is Elmore Leonard month here on the podcast, so we're going to check out a few of the dozens of screen adaptations based on the novelist's work. Some are great, some are lukewarm, and one or two are God-awful. But we're gonna have a lot of fun talking about all of them.Up first is Steven Soderbergh's Out of Sight from 1998. This star vehicle for Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney was an important film for almost everybody involved, and it might just be the best Elmore Leonard adaptation to date.
