Andy McDowell's performance is offered as aged best: she cannot overpower Bill Murray and has to be sweet, almost a prop.
Strong disagreement: the character felt too pristine, toasting world peace, not a prize and annoying, though it is no reflection on Andy McDowell herself. — Issa Rae
One remark says it felt like a female character written by a man; another view is that the character was intentionally pristine, and "I think you're both right".
One voice finds her hot; the reply "Is she, though?" cites her 80s hair.
The Ned Ryerson introduction is quoted; "needle-nosed Ned, Ned the head" is among the most memorized words, and the actor is called a that guy.
The $1,000 first piano lesson, with the teacher shoving the kid out the door and the slow walk, is a favorite.
Phil trying to save the homeless man day after day is loved; Michael Shannon's first-movie cameo is noticed as overacting and deferred to a later category.
The entire premise of waking up to the same day, timely now as the Atlantic noted, and the redemption arc are called the best part.
After the break, the criticism of Andy McDowell is revisited: a pristine, boring love interest suits a bored Phil who talks himself into her, but a smarmy Pittsburgh weatherman falling for such a dull lady is doubted; whether she is intentionally uninteresting is left at possibly.
An 11-episode Netflix show is accepted; the Devlin MacGregor plot is more believable now than in 1993.
One participant picks Mark Ruffalo as Kimble for his mix of intelligence, innocence and looking aggrieved.
Jon Hamm is proposed, then said to also have been another participant's choice: a believable doctor with a great jaw and big charismatic TV star.
Ruffalo's case is defended with a 'they knew' sequel joke, but he is later dismissed as busy with the Hulk.
The marshal should be Black or a woman to change the dynamic, with Viola Davis suggested; the pairing lands on Hamm and Viola.
Joey Pants could come out of retirement as an older Cosmo.
For a male minority Gerard, someone with a comedian background is suggested, with Chris Rock raised, and Idris Elba is proposed; Elba is questioned on sarcasm but defended via Molly's Game and Luther.
Liam Neeson as an older fugitive would not survive the dam; Brad Pitt would have been a great fugitive in a movie version.
A tech-era version would need to handle the internet, which makes it less of a pure ride; Will Smith basically already did it.
Michael Shannon is suggested as Sam Gerard; one participant dislikes him.
The Fugitive should be a binge-watch show; a series could have a different fugitive, director and writer every season.
