Laura KhooHOST
But I think we just watched Cape Fear.
Laura KhooHOST
And we're thinking a lot about prison and what prison does to people in Cape Fear and how Max Cady responded to it.
Laura KhooHOST
And those characters are so complex.
Laura KhooHOST
And this is very, there are good guys and there are bad guys.
FraserHOST
The big structural change this version makes is that the guilt gets split between two people instead of one.
FraserHOST
Amy Adams plays Anna Bowden, who was Max Cady's defense attorney, and talked him into a plea deal.
FraserHOST
Patrick Wilson plays Tom Bowden, the prosecutor, who put that deal in front of him.
FraserHOST
The two of them met across that trial and married afterwards, and now they're one of Savannah's power couples with two teenage kids.
Paul McCaffreyHOST
folks.
Paul McCaffreyHOST
Max Cady, smoking a cigar, watching a movie.
Paul McCaffreyHOST
Okay, folks, real quick, real quick, want to give some love to Carlos De La Fuente before Rod Brooks, but also another big announcement.
Paul McCaffreyHOST
If you kind of missed us next week, obviously we have a new time now.
JaggerHOST

JordanHOST
no She's like Max Cady's attorney.
JacobHOST
Okay.
JordanHOST
He's the lawyer, yeah.
Steven SeighmanHOST
I haven't watched that, and I, I'm glad you saw it because I'm really curious.
Steven SeighmanHOST
Uh, to me, Javier Bardem seems like the perfect Max Cady.
Steven SeighmanHOST
So h- how, how is it?
Mike MessineoHOST
Well, it's still slow burning at the moment, 'cause it's like eight episodes long-
8 MINS LATER
Mike MessineoHOST
Of course
Steven SeighmanHOST
... is, is like, you know, pulled in from Hitchcock.
Steven SeighmanHOST
And I don't know if you knew this or not, but it, it really jumped out at me, and I, I, uh, confirmed it, but the hotel or, like, the boarding house that Cady takes the woman to when he assaults her is the Psycho house.
Mike MessineoHOST
It a- it really is.
MikeHOST
Do either of you have any plans to watch the new Cape Fear TV show starring Silver Fox, Javier Bardem? also historically links with other foxes like Robert Mitchum, Gregory Peck, Robert De Niro.
MikeHOST
The question must therefore be asked, is the role of Max Cady a silver fox role, meaning a role that only can be played by a silver fox? And are there other silver fox roles you can think of? Thanks and love your work, Janie.
ElsieHOST
Perhaps the most thought-provoking question we have ever been asked.
MikeHOST
I don't know.
Danny BarrHOST
Okay.
Danny BarrHOST
But I felt a little like Max Cady from Cape Fear.
Danny BarrHOST
Because there were a couple of scenes that I happened to find funny that no one in the theater thought was funny.
Danny BarrHOST
And I'm in the front row just laughing my ass off.
David SimsHOST
Just going through the other scary guys.
David SimsHOST
Obviously Max Cady in Cape Fear.
David SimsHOST
Uh, I-
Lin-Manuel MirandaGUEST
Bad Grandpa, War with Grandpa
Victor Davis HansonHOST
I could comment very briefly in a variety of ways.
Victor Davis HansonHOST
I was thinking the other day about Robert De Niro, and I realized one of the reasons he's a great actor He plays himself, and himself is Max Cady in Cape Fear.
Victor Davis HansonHOST
That was him, and it was him as Capone in The Untouchables.
Victor Davis HansonHOST
And that's his best role.
Kyle KellamsHOST
Yeah.
April WallacePANELIST
So he's the criminal Max Cady and Nick Nolte was the attorney Sam Bowden.
April WallacePANELIST
Sam withholds evidence that would set Max Cady free.
April WallacePANELIST
But once he's released 14 years later, he realizes Sam realizes he has to go outside the law to protect his wife and daughter from this rapist.
April WallacePANELIST
You can safely say that the general sense of both the movie and the series is unease.
April WallacePANELIST
Like this is not a comfortable storyline.
April WallacePANELIST
And same with the original
Kyle KellamsHOST
movie with Robert Mitchum as Max Cady.
