S11E117 - EP117: The Thomas Crown Affair – Thievery 101

After a brief bye-week, we returned to talk about the 1999 heist film The Thomas Crown Affair, starring Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo, Dennis Leary, Frankie Faison, and Faye Dunaway. We talked about what makes the move work both as a heist film and a romantic drama, why there is another remake scheduled to star academy award winner Michael B. Jordan, if the plot makes sense with more scrutiny, if people like Thomas Crown can really disappear or find love, and if modern movies are blurring the lines between good guys and bad guys.
