No Escape (Episode 184) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

Actor Ray Liotta was coming off crtitical acclaim for his star making turn in Martin Scorcese's Goodfellas and was looking for a vehicle that would turn him into a bonafide movie star.  For others that path was paved by action movies so Liotta signed on to 1994's No Escape hoping it would catapult him to international acclaim.  As the stoic, brooding J. T. Robbins, Liotta was able to not only show brawn, but also brains as he attempts to escape the island penal colony of Absolom and it's violent de facto leader Marek played by Stuart Wilson.  The film also boasts Ernie Hudson, Kevin Dillon, Kevin J. O'Connor and Lance Henriksen. Dan and Vicky discuss the actioner along with some recently seen movie and TV shows like Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things, Beyonce's Renaissance, The Holdovers and Hulu's The Bear.
