In this week’s episode, we’re taking a look back at Bill Murray’s forgotten comedic gem, “Quick Change,” from 1990. "Quick Change" is Bill Murray’s first, and to this point, only directorial feature. He co-directed the film with the screenwriter Howard Franklin. It’s a really clever tale of a man named Grimm, played by Murray, who robs a bank dressed in a clown costume. Together with his partners, Phillys, played by Geena Davis and Loomis, played by Randy Quaid, they find out pulling the heist is the easy part. The hard part is getting out of New York City. Through a series of mishaps, the trio are forced on a wild goose chase around the city as they struggle to make it to the airport for their get away flight.
