We’re never too old for this! The MovieFilm boys continue our periodic journeys through the Lethal Weapon series with 1992’s Lethal Weapon 3! Listen along as we revisit Riggs & Murtaugh’s third outing, with director Richard Donner dialing up the comedy, introducing Rene Russo’s Lorna Cole, and somehow blowing up even more of Los Angeles. Along the way, we talk Joe Pesci’s return as Leo Getz, the film’s lighter tone, and where this one lands in the series as a whole.
