Thirst Aid Kit: The Deceptive Deference of Clive Owen

Published: Feb. 20, 2020, 11 a.m.

b'Clive Owen: is he dangerous or is he the love of our lives? As someone wise once asked, why not both? When Clive steps into a scene, we don\\u2019t know if he\\u2019s about to deliver a soul-stealing kiss or a scathing takedown, but we move to the edge of our seats to catch every second of it. From Chancer to Closer, Sin City to The Knick, and beyond, Clive\\u2019s demanding presence brings us to our knees, and we find we\\u2019re quite all right with that.\\xa0\\nSlate Plus members get a bonus segment on Thirst Aid Kit each week.\\xa0Sign up now\\xa0to listen and support our show.\\nOn Slate Plus, we discuss the erotic fixation on the extended leg of a woman.
