Lame action thriller or engrossing character study? To commemorate the release of Wild Card (2015) in theatres, Samuel and Dimitri review the original adaptation of William Goldman’s novel: Dick Richards’ Heat (1986), starring Burt Reynolds and Peter MacNicol. Also, Samuel makes a devastating argument about the film’s ending and then gets his scary movies wrong. Come back next time as Pamela returns to discuss Hot Tub Time Machine (2010).
