When she's murdered, he grudgingly teams up with her boyfriend, Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans), an ex-quarterback with a gambling problem, and the two go after her killers. Before long, they stumble onto a plot by a well-known football magnate (Noble Willingham) to bribe federal legislators into legalizing sports gambling.

This week, we're busting out the slammer and potentially wishing we were back in it depending on who you ask, as we team up with the canary-clad copper to take down a star-studded mob in a wildly stylish and outlandishly conceived blockbuster starring a charming old man incapable of doing action scenes, that's been seemingly buried in the Disney vault in the years since. It's 1990's Dick Tracy, directed and produced by Warren Beatty, and starring Beatty, Madonna, Al Pacino, Glenne Headly, Charlie Korsmo, Mandy Patinkin, Dustin Hoffman, Seymour Cassel, William Forsythe, Charles Durning, Dick Van Dyke, Paul Sorvino, James Caan, Kathy Bates and Catherine O'Hara. Most of these stars are unrecognizeable under the monstrous makeup required to make them look like their vintage crime comic strip counterparts, but Pacino made enough of an impression with a wildly comedic take on his typical mobster persona that he netted an Oscar nom for Best Supporting Actor, losing to Joe Pesci for GoodFellas. While Beatty is at least a decade too old to be proper fit as the movie's lead, it's his ambition behind the camera that makes the movie such a curiosity all these years later, as the film is either an enchanting dreamscape filled with unsolvable How Did They Do That movie magic puzzles, or a steaming pile of neon-drenched puke depending on which of our two hosts you ask. But that's okay, as we have some heated disagreement this week that is maybe the closest we've yet come to vintage Siskel & Ebert kinda stuff. Plus: We've both been to the theater and are happy to sound off on Ryan Coogler's latest as JMo and Hayley both greatly enjoyed Sinners in the cinema, and Justin's got a bonus theatrical field report on Drop, the latest from Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon. If you'd like to watch Dick Tracy before listening along to our conversation, good luck finding a physical copy, and Disney will seemingly never stream this thing on Disney+ -- possibly for rights reasons to avoid paying anything more to Warren Beatty, or possibly because they are cowards who are ashamed of the fun movie they made. Either way, it's tough to find outside of renting it on YouTube. Other works discussed in this episode include Creed, Fruitvale Station, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, Mad Max: Fury Road, Loki, The Accountant, The Perfect Storm, Bridge of Spies, War Horse, The Adventures of Tintin, Red Eye, Trap, Reign of Fire, Surrogates, The Expendables 2, The Last Boy Scout, Princess Mononoke, Hook, This Is The Tom Green Documentary, Cutthroat Island, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, G20, The Silence of the Lambs, Longlegs, Resident Orca, Avatar: The Way of Water, Blackfish, Batman ('89), Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, X-Men, Blade, The Shadow, The Phantom, The Rocketeer, Darkman, Speed Racer, Furiosa, Challengers and Sin City, among others. We'll be back (more than likely) next week, with another special in-theaters spectacular, as 100+ episodes after we covered the original film, it is tax season once again and we're back for more Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal in The Accountant 2. So look for that next Friday, and until then we'll see you at the movies!!

1996's The Long Kiss Goodnight is a Shane Black screenplay on the Renny Harlin luge. What is the deal? Is it a spiritual successor to The Last Boy Scout? What is going on? I don't know. I've been sick for months at this point. I thought I was better well after recording but I can feel the sinus infection coming on. Everything all the time.

This week, our look at buddy-cop movies all month long continues as we take a look at 1991's The Last Boy Scout! Bruce WIllis plays Joe Hallenbeck, a down and out cynical detective who teams up with Damon Wayans, a down and out ex-quarterback as they to try and solve a murder case involving a pro football team owner and a crooked politician.

Which one of you two looks most like a football movie?

Not having ever followed a detailed writing guide of structure breakdown before, Turk was curious about how his style matches to what you should use. Lastly, Turk tells Acomi about the mostly unknown Kanye West film Cruel Summer (2012), starring rapper Kid Cudi. Only playing once, at The Cannes Film Festival, Cruel Summer utilized cutting edge camera work and techniques created by Kanye. The most impressive being the Seven Screen Experience.

That's more like it! Nach einem bereits gefälligen ersten Kapitel in Tony Scotts Filmographie zündet Ridleys kleiner Bruder diesmal so richtig die Hochglanz-Actiongranate und liefert spätestens mit THE LAST BOY SCOUT - DAS ZIEL IST ÜBERLEBEN (1991) bereits sowas wie den ultimativen Scott-Actioner der 90er Jahre ab. Aber auch der weitgehend in Vergessenheit geratene REVENGE - EINE GEFÄHRLICHE AFFÄRE (1990) kann überzeugen – sofern man denn die richtige Schnittfassung guckt und Kevin-Costner-Fanboy ist – und wer war das anno 1990 nicht?! Und DAYS OF THUNDER - TAGE DES DONNERS (1990) ist nicht für unsere Steile These des Monats(TM) gut. Und die lautet: Cole Trickle ist der bessere Maverick und DAYS OF THUNDER der bessere TOP GUN (1986). Und ja, wir haben dafür sogar einige gute Argumente auf der Hand … wenn wir auch von Motorsport und Autos keinen blassen Schimmer haben.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 50 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by the host of The Waffle Press Movie Podcast, Diego Crespo to discuss the latest film in their Tony Scott series, The Last Boy Scout (1991). After the mild success of Days of Thunder, Tony Scott transitioned away from the protective arms of producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer to move over to a Joel Silver project with a script pinned by screenwriter Shane Black, who was coming off of writing Lethal Weapon and turning that into a franchise. But Black was kicked off the second installment of Lethal Weapon, and the script for The Last Boy Scout, a buddy action sports comedy about a private eye and a former pro Quarterback teaming up to stop corruption involving professional football and the US government, became the hottest thing in Hollywood (Black earned a record $1.75 million for the script, with over a $1 million guaranteed up front), and intrigued Scott immensely because of Black's overall vision. Led by the impeccable duo of Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans, this dark, even dystopian vision of 1990s Los Angeles is a relic of 90s action films with tons of politically incorrect, problematic moments of humor that is a cult classic and is a wildly impressive piece of filmmaking within Scott and Black's careers. Ryan, Jay, and Diego break down this complicated film, their history with it, kid acting, the body of work by its two stars Willis and Wayans, their relationship with the game of football, and why we don't get movies like this made anymore. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h03m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Tony Scott with a review of his next film, True Romance. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 49 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Karen Peterson to discuss the latest film in their Tony Scott series, Days of Thunder (1990). Four years after making the monster hit that was Top Gun, Tony Scott reteamed with Tom Cruise and producers Dom Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer to take their collaboration from the skies to the racetrack with Days of Thunder. After making Beverly Hills Cop II and Revenge (which are discussed briefly on the show), Scott was tapped to recreate the magic of his 1986 hit, this time with his leading man a bigger star and co-writer on the project, inspired by Cruise falling in love with racing, as well as the producers loving this new idea. While Scott clashed with Simpson and Bruckheimer throughout the production, the end result is an entertaining sports action drama with tremendous performances by Cruise and Robert Duvall, as well as the breakout role for Nicole Kidman. Ryan, Jay and Karen (the biggest Tom Cruise fan we know) discuss the film, their relationships to the sport of racing and their overall love of sports, Karen's favorite Tom Cruise movie, the overt boyish behavior the characters have throughout the film, if the ending/John C. Reilly side plot works, the racing scenes, the infamous wheelchair race scene between Cruise and Michael Rooker, and if this movie is better than Top Gun.

“I didn't really know I was allowed to be a screenwriter, so I didn't consider that as a career or life option growing up Southeast of England,” says Drew Pearce. “People I knew didn't go to University and they definitely didn't work in movies.” “Throughout my life, I have shown a staggering lack of imagination in thinking I can do these jobs. But when I meet a person who does the job, I do think, ‘Well, if they can do it, I can do it,'” he jokes. After exploring paths as a musician, a magazine writer, and the comic scene, he eventually created a sitcom in the UK. The show received mixed reviews in the UK, but found its way to America where it found some traction. “I just so happened to do a show about off-duty superheroes, set in a pub, the same year that Iron Man came out, so those things dove-tailed.” The series was called No Heroics. Thanks to the show, this eventually led to a meeting with Kevin Feige (President of Marvel Studios) and work on projects such as Iron Man 3, Marvel One-Shot: All Hail the King, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, Lego Marvel's Avengers, Hotel Artemis, Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, and most recently, The Fall Guy. “Kevin Feige forced us together,” he says about his collaboration with Shane Black. “Legendary screenwriter Shane Black did not want me as a co-writer,” he jokes. “It was an arranged marriage that could have been incredibly short-lived. Shane was the Director so he had the power to fire me, but I had grown up with Shane's movies and there's a huge part of what I do.” “But honestly, there was an organic exchange of tones. He liked that I came from comedy and I liked how American his stuff is.” Black's credits also include Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Nice Guys, and The Predator. “Weirdly, like two characters in a Shane Black movie — the grizzled old veteran and the arrogant younger copy — we learned from each other and a bond was formed.” That said, over the last 14 years, Pearce has written or worked on 60+ movies, including unmade specs, but he's only known for the action-comedies listed above.

Welcome back to another episode of Born to Watch, where we dive into the gritty, smoke-filled alleys of action cinema, this time with Tony Scott's explosive 1991 film, "The Last Boy Scout." Starring Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans, this film melds the rough-and-tumble aesthetics of the early '90s with sharp dialogue and an unrelenting pace, making it a standout in the action genre."The Last Boy Scout" opens with a rain-soaked, noir-style narrative, where Joe Hallenbeck (Bruce Willis), a disenchanted private detective with a penchant for cigarettes and sarcasm, teams up with Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans), a disgraced former football star with his own baggage. The plot kicks off with a bang—quite literally—as the duo becomes entangled in a complex conspiracy involving the professional sports world, political corruption, and murder.Tony Scott, known for his visually stylish filmmaking, does not disappoint here. Each frame is drenched in mood, from the shadowy interiors to the neon-lit streets that serve as the film's battleground. Scott's camera work is frenetic yet focused, capturing the essence of action with a keen eye for detail that keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats. The opening sequence alone, featuring a desperate, gun-toting football player during a rainy game, sets the tone for a film that's both darkly comic and brutally intense.Script and DialogueThe screenplay, penned by Shane Black, is filled with his trademark snappy dialogue and dark humour. Black's writing shines through in the banter between Joe and Jimmy, providing a verbal ping-pong that entertains amidst the chaos. Willis's delivery of one-liners, paired with Wayans' timing, creates a dynamic chemistry that elevates the narrative beyond typical action fare. One memorable zinger, "This is the '90s. You can't just walk up and slap a guy. You have to say something cool first," perfectly encapsulates the film's self-aware sharpness.Performance and Character DevelopmentBruce Willis brings his characteristic everyman swagger to the role of Joe Hallenbeck, a role that seems tailor-made for his blend of weary toughness and cynical wit. Meanwhile, Damon Wayans adds depth to Jimmy Dix, a character that could easily have been a one-dimensional sidekick. Together, they deliver believable and deeply engaging performances, ensuring the audience roots for them despite their flaws.The supporting cast, including Chelsea Field and Noble Willingham, provide solid performances that enrich the film's world. Each character is well-defined and contributes to the unfolding drama, highlighting Scott's ability to effectively manage a large ensemble cast.Historical and Cultural Significance"The Last Boy Scout" was released during a peak period of action movies, following the likes of "Die Hard" and "Lethal Weapon." While it might not have reached the iconic status of these films, it certainly adds a unique flavour to the genre, blending the hard-boiled detective tropes with sports corruption narratives. The film also comments subtly on issues like professional integrity and sports exploitation, topics that remain relevant.In terms of pop culture, "The Last Boy Scout" serves as a testament to the era's cinematic and stylistic transitions. It combines the action-packed sequences of the '80s with thematic complexity and character-driven stories of the '90s. It's a film that bridges eras, both celebrating and critiquing the genre's conventions.Relevance TodayWatching "The Last Boy Scout" today, viewers can appreciate its influence on subsequent action films and television series that have adopted its combination of sharp wit and visceral action. It's a precursor to how action cinema can be both smart and exciting, proving that character development and clever scripting can coexist with explosive set pieces."The Last Boy Scout" is a film that deserves revisiting. It's not just a relic of its time but a prescient piece that anticipated trends in action cinema. The film's combination of stellar performances, memorable one-liners, and tightly choreographed action sequences make it a standout. Moreover, its commentary on the darker aspects of professional sports and politics remains pertinent, giving it layers that go beyond its surface thrills.For fans of the genre, this movie is a must-watch, a must-discuss, and, thanks to its indelible characters and punchy dialogue, a must-quote. So, as Joe Hallenbeck might say, grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the ride—because they don't make them like this anymore.That's it for this week's episode of Born to Watch. Keep tuning in as we explore more cinematic gems that shape, define, and push the boundaries of film.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

"The Last Boy Scout" is a movie that has its moments but ultimately falls short of its potential due to its formulaic plot, one-dimensional characters, and problematic portrayal of women.
