Bob and Mark review William Friedkin's brilliant Neo-noir criminal thriller "To Live and Die in L.A." (1985). Bob's dream to collaborate with Mark on an episode of one of his favorite films has finally come true. They look at Special Agent Richard Chance (William Petersen), a nihilistic antihero who will stop at nothing to get revenge on counterfeiter Rick Masters (Willem Dafoe) for killing his longtime Secret Service partner. The film's highlights are analyzed, including the thrilling chase sequences and great performances by a cast that includes John Turturro, Dean Stockwell, Debra Feuer, and John Pankow. They also discuss other antihero movie characters that have become icons in popular culture.
