For the 2nd time this week, Have You Ever Seen talks about escaped convicts. And just 3 days before Martin Luther King Day, Ryan offers up a one-man oral essay about two men on the run while dealing with '50s-era racism in America's south. Unlike Out Of Sight though, The Defiant Ones is deadly serious. One legendary actor in Sidney Poitier and one underrated one in Tony Curtis are great together as two guys who are forced to work together to survive with a posse in hot pursuit. The last 30 minutes of the film and the ending itself are puzzling, but Stanley Kramer's dynamic Oscar-winner is still good enough to rise above those problems. So don't drag on the chain (especially since that's a bad line) as our 485th episode runs through all the hard-fought battles and gradual acceptances in The Defiant Ones.   Go to "sparkplug.coffee/hyes" to order terrific java and even get yourself a 20% discount by using our promo code ("hyes").
