Lethal Weapon - Forerunner of the modern buddy cop flick?

The season of giving rolls on, so we’re gonna give ‘er with the 1987 Richard Donner cop classic, Lethal Weapon. The guys open by discussing the Christmas elements of the film and why it feels less Christmasy than Die Hard. They talk about the movie’s dark leanings, its unusual lead characters, and the effect they both had on the genre. We hear some speculation on Mel Gibson’s stylist, some questions about bath time, and a lot about nog.
