Chadwick Aaron Boseman (1976 - 2020) was one of the brightest young talents in the business.

But it wasn't until Chadwick ascended the throne as the king of the MCU that he became an icon to the world.  Aaron and Brad get "Get up on the good foot" with GET ON UP, bow at the throne of BLACK PANTHER, Make America Vietnam Again with DA 5 BLOODS, and more!

Carl Adolf von Sydow (1929 - 2020) was the legendary Swedish actor whose name was synonymous with the great Ingmar Bergman.

Their close but strained relationship and a personal battle with inner demons led her to a number of ups and downs throughout her career. But in 1977 she transformed into one of the most iconic cinematic characters ever put to screen. On paper, Princess Leia was a mere damsel in distress but Carrie provided a strong and powerful presence to the character that would quickly transform her into a feminist icon for over 40 years. Her quick tongue and tumultuous relationships led her to be an inspirational and outspoken survivor of mental illness and drug abuse.

However, the next 25 years of his career would stall out with a string of forgetful projects with only a few gems along the way.

His towering stature, big, bold features, and infectious laugh made him a perfect fit for Jack Hill's exploitation films of the 70s. Sid would solidify a prosperous and steady career on screen but this character actor for hire would eventually step away from acting feeling typecast as just another dimwitted heavy. However, directors like Quentin Tarantino and Rob Zombie had other plans. At the age of 60, Sid would find a whole new act to his storied career.

Richard Miller (1928 - 2019) was that guy. He was the guy you didn’t know you loved. A character actor to ever rival the title. If you have seen a movie in the last 50 years then you have seen a Dick Miller movie. Dick Miller was a Roger Corman staple at AIP and would later become the lucky rabbit foot of New World Pictures and Corman's acolytes. Aaron and Brad find their inner beatnik with A BUCKET OF BLOOD, disobey the three rules with GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH, turn into a couple of ho-dunk, po-dunks in DEMON KNIGHT, and more!

Carole Penny Marshall (1943 - 2018) was a lead actress on one of the most popular shows in television history and would eventually find herself behind the camera. At first Penny did not feel comfortable behind the camera but she would find her voice as she would become the second female to earn a Best Picture nomination and the first female director to have a movie gross over $100 million.   At only 7 feature films Penny would find herself as a significant figure in the movie industry.

Stanley Martin Lieber (1922 - 2018) was the type of talent and personality that lived up to the title of the man, the myth, and the legend.

His work would inevitably alter the way that we watch, anticipate, and create our modern cinematic blockbusters.  The comic book movie has come a long way so Aaron and Brad take a look at the pre-comic movie pining of MALLRATS, the first major blockbuster for Marvel's Mighty X-MEN, the latest and most innovative leap alongside SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE, and more!

Filmstruck (2016 - 2018) was something more than just a streaming service. It was on demand film curation for the film lover. It was the perfect blend of art, history, and culture. FilmStruck was a rare gem that provided film personally curated to fulfill all three of these. The cinematic landscape is changing and it will always be imperative to give a platform to films like this that have no other home. So Aaron and Brad mourn the loss of Filmstruck by digging deep into how it got here and taking one last dive into the films it provided from the pioneering science fiction of THINGS TO COME, the acidic western of THE SHOOTING, the noir classic of OUT OF THE PAST, the booze-filled holiday of WITHNAIL AND I, and more!

Roderick Andrew Anthony Jude "Roddy" McDowall (1928 - 1998) started out as a child actor and worked his way through the Golden Age of Hollywood and beyond to become the legendary character actor that we know and love today.

Burt Reynolds (1936 - 2018) was a true icon of cinema. Constantly working through the smaller roles in tv and westerns Burt finally found his niche in the late 70s and became the biggest star well into the 80s. He was the every man's cinematic legend. A man of the south and for the south. A cowboy hat wearin', lady slayin', Trans Am drivin' hero.

Robby Müller (1940 - 2018) was the legendary Dutch cinematographer nicknamed the “Master of Light”. An artist who focused on his improvisational use of color, natural light, and composition.

Join Rest In Pictures as we focus on the classic ENTER THE DRAGON, the smooth BLACK BELT JONES, the iconic teamup of THREE THE HARD WAY, the iconic reteamup of TAKE A HARD RIDE, and more!
