Double Edged Double Bill 239: Forrest Gump Plans The Great Escape Through Historical Fiction
It's time to escape with your best running shoes for another Double Edged Double Bill! This week, as Babylon and Pale Blue Eye are out in theaters, we're devoting the episode to historical fiction! That is, films set in historical time periods with fictionalized elements. First, 76 men plot an escape from a PoW camp in the true yet embellished story The Great Escape! Then, the powers of Tom Hanks are used for the evils of an American victory lap to thunderous acclaim, box office and generational love in Forrest Gump! Together our heroes answer the crucial questions. Could Charles Bronson actually emote? What talking animal should team up with Tom Hanks? Which two films will they cover for next week's big 2022 releases wrap up episode? Well, keeping digging that tunnel to underneath that park bench covered in chocolates so you can listen to find out!
