If you were an action fan in the 1970s, '80s, or '90s, one of the great pleasures of filmgoing was the experience, every year or two, of a new Walter Hill movie. No one else was really making movies like him, and no one had before; Hill created a body of work that spoke to American culture both past and present where the jokes are funny but the bullets are real. On this episode of the Filmmaker Toolkit podcast, Hill speaks about returning to his favorite genre, the Western with his new film "Dead for a Dollar." Learn more about your ad choices.

Paul Shirey (The Beard) interviews legendary director Walter Hill for The Beard and The Bald Movie Podcast! Hill is the director behind such action classics as The Warriors, 48 Hours, Red Heat, Johnny Handsome, Streets of Fire, Extreme Prejudice, The Long Riders, Last Man Standing, and Trespass, amongst others. Hill's latest film is the western Dead For A Dollar starring Christoph Waltz, Willem Dafoe, and Rachel Brosnahan. The director discusses his penchant for the western genre, casting the main characters, and his intent to tell a smaller story. Hill also talks about his cult hits like Streets of Fire and Johnny Handsome, as well as giving some insight into the sound design behind the weapons used in his films and how they play into the individual characters. In addition, Hill provides insight into the difference between a "bomb" and a "dog" and how you never want a "dog-bomb" of a film. He clarifies his involvement in the Alien franchise and gives his perception of what ingredients make a great action film. Check out the full interview and make sure to chime in with your favorite Walter Hill movies in the comments! 

This week on The Treatment, Elvis sits down with multi-hyphenate Tyler Perry, whose latest film “A Jazzman's Blues' may be his most personal. Next, director Walter Hill talks about his fresh take on the western with his new film “Dead for a Dollar.” And on The Treat: Australian director George Miller talks about a seemingly simple children's story that contains multitudes.

Steve and Gabe are taking the week off (Steve's off investigating plane crashes, and Gabe is perfecting the Mocharita). But we ain't gonna leave you high hand dry - no sir.    Welcome to the first episode of They Came From the North: RETRO. This episode features Steve, Gabe, Jon, and Andrew as they tackle the good, bad, and ugly of Director Walter Hill.  DISCLAIMER:  They Came From the North: RETRO was originally recorded between 2011-2014 by a pack of ignorant Canadians, production is not always stellar, and some of the opinions and humor present may be a little off-color for more discerning tastes. These were different times for both Canada and the rest of the world, but rest assured, we are all good people... well, except Steve, he's an evil man. 

Director Walter Hill was riding high off the success of The Warriors and 48 Hrs when he was given the green light to make his high budget rock n' roll fable Streets of Fire. But despite the presence of rising stars Diane Lane and Willem Dafoe and a heavy presence on MTV thanks to Dan Hartman's hit single “I Can Dream About You”, the film flopped hard with critics and audiences. Join Sebastian and Jennifer as they get ready to rumble with this surreal and stylish cinematic street fight.

Director Walter Hill's third movie adapted source material based on Greek history following an army of soldiers on a long march home across hostile territory. In this case, the soldiers are a group of street toughs making their way  across a 1970s New York City populated by colorful gangs. When the film was released, it was accompanied by an outbreak of violence linked to its screenings, including three deaths, prompting Paramount Pictures to pull advertising and pay for additional theater security. Nevertheless, the film was a success and went on to inspire comic book and video game adaptations over the years. Now we're hopping the turnstile for that long subway ride from the Bronx to Coney Island with The Warriors.

Director Walter Hill had his hands full on the set of his 1975 directorial debut Hard Times.  He had cast Charles Bronson in the lead role of Chaney, a boxer who says little but can knock a man out with one punch, only to find that the actor could be angry and reclusive on set. James Coburn took the part of Speed, Chaney's manager, but resented playing second fiddle to Bronson and showed it on set.  And third starring Strother Martin also tested Hill's patience by playing the eccentric doctor Poe comically over the top.   Dan and Vicky discuss what many consider to be one of the best fighting movies ever made with and the definitive Charles Bronson performance. They also talk about their recently seen including Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Midsommar, Hobbs and Shaw, 1939's The Women, After Hours, Crawl, HBO's Chernobyl, Amazon's The Boys and Netflix's Kim's Convenience.   Episode 91: Hard Times will knock you out!  Leave us some feedback and check out our website at hotdatepod.com.
