Overlapping Dialogue

Havana & Dick Tracy

Episode Summary

After a two month hiatus, Overlapping Dialogue makes its triumphant return with our 71st edition, kicking off a 10 episode look at one of the most widely beloved periods in contemporary film history: the 1990s! But before we travel back in time to the era of Beanie Babies and horrific homegrown domestic terrorism, we sort through a Blue Plate Special gauntlet tacking a slew of new releases in Cocaine Bear, 65, Renfield, and the much anticipated Beau is Afraid. And don't worry, we even find some time to return to our semi-recurring segment on the Airport franchise of the 70s, this time with Airport '77. Upon sorting through wreckage literal and figurative, we finally arrive at this episode's subject features, both from 1990: Havana and Dick Tracy. Listen as we discuss the handsome yet unimaginative direction of Sydney Pollack, the cartoonish insanity that inherently comes along with adapting Chester Gould for the big screen, and the larger connection both films share of aging movie stars going about their fading relevance in decidedly different ways.
