Episode 99 - The Hunter

Author: Kelsy Norman March 1, 2024 Duration: 1:01:17
Dr. Jason Ney, Associate Professor of English at Colorado Christian University and film historian, joins me to discuss Steve McQueen's final film, The Hunter. We explore the cars featured in the movie, the film's cast of ridiculous characters, and the exciting stunt work performed by Steve McQueen and Loren Janes.

There’s more to Steve McQueen than the iconic car chase in Speeding Bullitt: The Life and Films of Steve McQueen. This podcast, crafted and hosted by Kelsy Norman, digs into the layers of the man who became a symbol of cool, examining how his personal history, his choices, and his era shaped each performance. You’ll hear detailed reviews of his films and television work, from the early days to his legendary roles, placed in the context of Hollywood’s changing landscape. Norman also brings in conversations with writers, actors, and directors who offer their own insights, creating a richer portrait that goes beyond the screen persona. It’s a deep, thoughtful exploration for anyone curious about the craft behind the legend and the cultural impact of his work. The podcast doesn’t just recount a filmography; it connects the pieces of McQueen’s life to the enduring image he left behind, making each episode a study in both cinema history and a fascinating, complex individual.
