Movie Reviews #618 movies to review today so Autobots rollout.1 (Wanda 1970) here we have a Writer, director, and actor with no money kicking ass. Her name is Barbara Loden, and we had all never seen this movie before, a buried early feminist film finally unearthed, and by Criterion who has been quick to resurrect some crud like that Nazi porn film, and leave a lot of the women, people of color and other marginalized groups films still on my list buried. So, more like this Criterion and thank you.2 (See the man Run 1971) I did the write up for this and I now have no memory of this film, lemme grab my notes. Oh yeah I dug this one, it's just got one of those dumb vague titles. Here is a plot for me that is NOT Freebox. Angie Dickenson, Robert Culp and Eddie Albert star in this, and you can and should watch it right now on the youtubes. It refreshingly has a plot and also has some odd acting choices and 70's insanity that this cat craves.3 (Man on a String 1972) Joseph Sargent directed this. He directed many 70's movies that we love annnnnnd this. Kitty Winn, Jack Warden and a bunch of white guys that look alarmingly alike are here in this movie where this sharp shooter makes an impossible shot because he is impossibly, that good.4 (Play it as it Lays 1972) Here we have another film by director Frank Perry that for me, knocks my socks off, I had no idea it was gonna go where it goes. Film is based on Joan Didion's book, great, I have been so behind on books I need to read since I got my first iPhone, damn!5 (The Man who could Talk to Kids 1973) Oh my Mr. Brady and the doctor from Jaws 2 are parents that are struggling with what the film calls, their emotionally disturbed Son, so they find a guy who can “talk to kids”. Important subject that we liked save the fact that the “guy” is just a guy that they let take their son and go wherever. When I get my Time Machine, it will be on my list to find the writer and add at least one degree to this “guy” who talks to kids and NOT have him say, it's just a hobby.6 (Watched 1974) Not as good as the bootleg dvd box says it is, but for me it was worth a watch. Stacy Keach and his mates seem to have a lil time, some film equipment, and maybe some drugs, let's make a movie. Why not?!7 (News from Home 1976) Here we have a Rad Feminist writer and director Chantell Ackerman, who's Belgian film Quai Du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles we really liked and were moved by. Here, let's just say this is mollases ass slow. She films New York doin nothing and reads an occasional letter from her Mother.8 (Cotton Candy 1979) Here is a made for tv movie I saw when it aired at 8 years old. It's about friends forming a band. Even then I knew it was corny, but that I also wanted to someday be in a band. When I meet Clint Howard I want him to sign his poster from this.Hey as always, thanks for listening friends. Maybe give us all the stars and write a review, thank you.
Original Release Date: Monday 1 June 2026 Description: Even we are impressed at the ground covered in only 74 minutes this week by your friends in podcasting! They start by going deep into the improvisational jazz of Sun Ra and dissecting comments Sonny Rollins made in a podcast about jazz being “ a music of freedom”. The Coen Brothers' 1991 masterpiece Barton Fink gets revisited at 35 and is found to be better than ever. The film genre of neo-noir gets analyzed, and the all-too-overlooked Hickey & Boggs (directed by Robert Culp and co-starring Culp and Bill Cosby) gets championed as an outstanding exemplar of that genre. The death of certain kinds of horror tropes are foremost on Dean's mind after seeing Scream 7, whereas Phil is intrigued by the new generation of horror exemplified by the current box office sensations Backrooms and Obsession. Then, Dean and Phil switch genres yet again, and examine cinematic comedy through two documentaries (Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man! and Marty, Life is Short), one all-time classic (Some Like it Hot) and two current releases in theaters (I Love Boosters and The Sheep Detectives).

Movie reviews number sixty. Seven films to review today so let's get goin. 1. (Deadhead Miles1972) Terrence Malick is the writer here and this is an early work of his. Alan Arkin is here in the starring role along with support from the butler from the Jeffersons, Doc Hopper from the Muppet movie, and Jaws from the Bond movies. The film cinematically answers the burning question, “Did they ever make a more ethereal stream of of consciousness Trucker movie?” 2. (The Execution of private Slovik 1974) This is a heavy made for tv based on the real story of Eddie getting executed for desertion 1945 by firing squad. 49 others were sentenced to death for desertion in that war but all were commuted except for Slovik, apparently to send a message, but then they covered it up. Martin Sheen, Mariclare Costello, and about a baker's dozen of recognizable characters from the time appear in this one. What else to say except maybe strap in fam. 3. (My Father's house 1975) Spiderman's Uncle, the rad guy from the Music Man, Mrs Peacock from Clue, and Rosemary Forsyth star in this thoughtful made for tv movie about a dad recovering from a heart attack who is thinking about life and his dad. 4. (The Grateful Dead Movie 1977) I think I liked this more than the others here. We all don't dig the Grateful Dead much but Agree that the story is very interesting. It could have been more coherent but as Jerry himself said “We just keep trying to describe the Indescribable.” 5. (Spectre 1977) Here we have another Gene Roddenberry tv movie starring Robert Culp and Gig Young. The lil promo film we saw about this says that it's trying to cash in on the Exorcist dollar, but this is waaaaaaay more bizarre, is it good though? 6. (Players 1979) Got a bootleg of this and for a 70's movie completionist, it is fun for me to see Ali MacGraw, Maximilan Schell, Steve Guttenberg, and Melissa Prophet in this rather bad massive flop of a movie about Tennis, kinda. 7. (Sunburn 1979) The Plastic Surgeon's assistant from Logan's Run, The guy who made the worst writing studio for Carol Burnett in their garage in The grass is always greener over the Septic tank, the guy who gives grandpa Wookie space porn in the Star Wars holiday special, Edith Keeler from Star Trek, the Boss of Magnum P.I., and the Baroness from the Sound of Music, are all here in this, so it's just got to be the best thing ever, we'll see. Thanks film friends for listening, please consider writing a review, it helps a lot.
We are back for our FIFTH SEASON!!! Can you believe that we've been at this for five years now??? I know we can't, but we have 58 episodes where we've paired pot with 117 movies as evidence here. Our earliest film was Georges Méliès' "The Infernal Caudron" from 1903, and our most recent is "Hanky Panky" from 2023. That's getting up on three years old now? Does that count as vintage in tubi years? But enough of our unexpected achievements. We've got our 59th episode right here, and with Valentine's Day just around the corner, we're exploring human sexuality with a pair of films that Philena describes as "more gross than romantic." Everything about BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE (1969) screams the 60s, from Robert Culp in love beads right down to a Burt Bacharach song closing it out, but our crew found it's definitely worth a look as so many people are trying out polyamory with the same level of awkward as our film's titular couple. Plus Robert Culp and Natalie Wood smoke weed like pros Definitely stay tuned for Philena's title for a queer remake that she should really get crackin' on writing! The film also stars Ryan Cannon and Elliot Gould. How is it that Gould is making his Old Movies for Young Stoners debut just now??? BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE is streaming on the Criterion and Roku Channels. Since we featured one of Mexico's most spectacularly-bad films in our last episode with the baffling SANTA CLAUS (1959), Bob felt it was time we explored the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema (1930-1960) with VICTIMS OF SIN (1951), a prime example of the Rumberas genre, a unique combination of musical, noir and intense melodrama. In fact, the emotions may have burned a bit too hot for some of our hosts. Ninón Sevilla is a dancer at the Club Changoo in Mexico City whose life goes to hell after she rescues a baby from a trash can. Directed by the great Emilio Fernández who was the John Huston or Kurosawa of Mexico's Golden Age, but is best known to gringos for playing the Mexican warlord Mapache in Sam Peckinpah's THE WILD BUNCH (1969). Legend also has it that Fernández was the sculptor's model for the Oscar statuette when he was chilling with Dolores del Río in Hollywood after he was a part of a failed rebellion in Mexico and had to flee to the United States for a while. The contrast of light and shadows of Gabriel Figueroa's cinematography are the equal of anything seen in the best American noirs. VICTIMS OF SIN is now streaming on Criterion Channel. Cory, Bob and Greg begin the show by talking about the pending closures of The Bottom of the Hill and Thee Parkside, two San Francisco punk clubs that they have all played and see a lot of shows at. The conversation brings up the Canadian rock god Thor, which is always welcome. Bottom of the Hill closes at the end of 2026, so please check out a show or ten there while you still can. https://www.bottomofthehill.com/calendar.html And Philena was not one of the influencers invited to screenings of the "Wuthering Heights," which really seems like an oversight by the Warner Bros publicity team if you ask us. Hey movie PR people, contact us at oldmoviesforyoungstoners@gmail.com and invite Philena to your premieres! She's got the power! Join us in March for our CHILDHOOD TRAUMA episode with THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T (1953) and THE BOY WITH GREEN HAIR (1948). Subscribe on your preferred podcast app so you don't miss it.

On this episode of To the Outer Limits, John Siuntres is joined by Gabe Hardman, William J. Meyer, Ian Brill, Jeff Parker, and Ande Parks for a deep-dive discussion of the classic 1964 episode “Demon with a Glass Hand.” Written by Harlan Ellison and directed by Byron Haskin, this landmark story starring Robert Culp remains one of the series' most haunting and influential hours. The panel unpacks the episode's noir atmosphere, its striking use of the Bradbury Building, and Ellison's blend of human emotion with high-concept science fiction. Along the way, they explore the show's visual style, its lasting influence on later genre storytelling—from The Terminator to modern cyber-noir—and what makes Demon with a Glass Hand one of The Outer Limits' definitive masterpieces.
Before Watchmen shocked readers with the idea of a staged alien invasion meant to unite humanity, The Outer Limits had already explored that same chilling premise more than two decades earlier. “The Architects of Fear,” one of the series' most haunting episodes, aired in 1963 at the height of Cold War anxiety. In it, a group of idealistic scientists concoct a desperate plan to save the world from nuclear annihilation by creating a common enemy—an extraterrestrial threat—through grotesque transformation and deception.The story's moral gravity and tragic human core—anchored by Robert Culp's anguished performance—make it an emotional blueprint for Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen. Where Moore's Adrian Veidt executes his plan with cold perfection, The Outer Limits delivers the same concept as human tragedy rather than triumph. It's a tale not about success, but about sacrifice and futility—a broadcast parable warning that even the noblest lies can't save us from ourselves.
Warren Oates. You either LOVE him or have no effing clue who he is. Either way, you need to join me as we journey through his credits to determine his Hall of Fame eligibility. Part 1 focuses on his early TV years as he guests on dozens of western TV shows like The Rifleman, The Westerner, Johnny Ringo, and Trackdown. In only his fist few years of screen acting, Warren shares the screen with legends like James Coburn, Charlton Heston, and Robert Culp. More importantly, he forges a friendship with Sam Peckinpah that will soon begin to pay major dividends. Enjoy!
The "Summer Surprise" randomizer brings us yet another classic TV show turned big-budget movie, this time with a look at 2002's I Spy, a groundbreaking dramatic spy series from the '60s starring Robert Culp and Bill Cosby, now re-imagined as an action-comedy big-screen adventure starring Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy. The cinematic I Spy clearly failed to make the impact the filmmakers hoped for, but is it entirely the movie's fault? How much did Eddie Murphy's other then recent box-office bombs hurt the perception of this film? Does original star Bill Cosby's tarnished legacy now further diminish the movie's reputation? Or did the movie itself just miss the mark with the changes it made to the source material? We ponder all these questions and more, in - surprisingly - one of our most contentious episodes in some time! Our Twitter Our Facebook Our Instagram Our YouTube Trev's Letterboxd Chris' Letterboxd
Every day after school, I would take my little latchkey self home and immediately turn on the WAVE TV 3 afternoon movie. They were always things that were not meant for mine young eyes, and I was dealt more than a few traumas from them. Easily in my top three was the 1973 made-for-tv film Outrage with Robert Culp. The scene that did me in was when a group of thugs lured Culp's sweet St. Bernard into the street and ran him over. The drive of that car is today's guest! But don't worry, Tom Leopold is an actual dog lover, and he happens to have done a lot more than just harass Robert Culp. As an actor he started with a Sidney Lumet film, worked with legends like George Burns and Steve Allen, and was almost The Fonz. As a writer he has written some of the most iconic episodes of beloved shows like Seinfeld and Cheers. He has stories for days and he shared many of them. We also talk about the process of writing for a tv show, the difference between a writer's room and flying solo, and what to do when a clown shows up late to the audition. Find out more about Tom here: Instagram See him at his most dastardly here: Outrage (Yes, it's cued to that scene, so viewer beware.)
We finish up the 2024 holiday season with the absolutely hysterical, Santas Slay (2005) with Bill Goldberg.

We really haven't talked about any Christmas movies all month so, when the subject was brought up, Geek Dad Brien suggested one he recently saw...the other Dads (mostly) said "sounds good" and we all sat down and watched Santa's Slay, a film from 2005 that none of us had heard of, despite some big name actors (James Caan anyone?) popping up in the opening scenes! In this film Santa Claus is actually a demon who lost a bet with an angel, so, for 1000 years, he becomes the giver of toys and happiness. But when those thousand years are up and the bet is off, he returns to his evil ways! Starring ex-wrestler, Bill Goldberg as the rampaging Santa and Robert Culp as the grandpa/angel. Listen in and find out what we thought of it!
On today's episode, we welcome Jim Wynorski, a filmmaker whose career is a kaleidoscope of genres, relentless creativity, and a staggering portfolio of over 160 films. Known for his ability to churn out projects with unmatched efficiency, Jim's journey through the cinematic landscape is nothing short of fascinating. From cult classics like Chopping Mall to unexpected forays into family-friendly territory, his career offers insights into filmmaking's raw, unpolished edges.In this conversation, Jim Wynorski shares the story of how he transitioned from directing commercials in New York to working under the legendary Roger Corman in Hollywood. "I packed up my stuff in a car and drove across the country. I struggled for a few years doing anything I could, and eventually, my scripts got into the right hands," Jim says. It's a tale of grit and determination, emblematic of the relentless pursuit of dreams that fuels so many creative spirits.Jim's approach to filmmaking is a study in versatility. Whether crafting low-budget horror or light-hearted family films, he has always been deeply attuned to audience preferences. He reflects on this ability, explaining how understanding the marketplace keeps him relevant. "You don't make a movie for yourself; you make it for the audience. If you don't, it's not going to sell," he advises, underscoring the pragmatism that has defined his work ethic.The discussion takes a humorous turn when Jim recounts some of the challenges of working with temperamental actors, including notorious on-set dramas. While he speaks fondly of most collaborators, a few experiences left lasting impressions. "Robert Culp, who I loved as a kid, was a prick and a half. He complained about everything—from the lenses to the meals. The entire crew booed him on his last day!" Jim laughs, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the human side of filmmaking.But Jim isn't only about business and conflict—his passion for storytelling shines when discussing his favorite films and the joy of working in diverse genres. From the fantastical to the comedic, his projects reflect a deep curiosity about the possibilities of cinema."Each film took me to new places, both literally and creatively," Jim recalls, noting how travel and novelty kept the work exciting even during grueling production schedules.He also touches on the changing dynamics of the film industry, particularly the impact of digital platforms and the decline of physical media. Ever adaptable, Jim explains how these shifts inspired him to pivot from horror to family films, seizing opportunities in a dwindling DVD market. "I walked into Walmart, saw family films selling well, and decided to make one about a dog and Christmas," he says. The resulting success is a testament to his knack for spotting trends and evolving with the times.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.
My crush on William Katt began decades ago with the tumbling blonde spirals of Tommy Ross in Carrie, the close-cropped Sundance, to the shorter golden curls of Pippin… it wasn't just the hair, of course… that face, the smile, his voice… the whole damn package. Like millions of other baby boomers, he had us swooning for years. How lovely to sit down with Bill, these almost 50 years later, to discover he's still got that boyhood charm, mischievous sense of fun, with just a teeny touch of bad boy (note him playfully admonishing his wife when she sneaks into the “set.” And, the au courant platinum do, and facial hair he's currently sporting still make him a handsome standout. That's the trivial superficialities - but, what do you expect when you're talking about a movie star heartthrob? Well, there is the laid-back, easy-going, real as-beans, straight-shooter, who was crazy fun to chat with and get his inside perspective on his parents, actors, Bill Williams (Kit Carson) and Barbara Hale - loved to learn that she was also funny- Betty White funny, and inspired at least one woman to great professional heights, on Angie Dickenson, his first TV co-star, his passion for theatre, always, working with Bob Fosse, and Ben Vereen, Auditioning for George Lucas, to play Luke Skywalker with Kurt Russell as Hans Solo - doing a great job, instead being cast by Brian DePalma in his seminal work, Carrie, alongside his friend, and perhaps for a brief moment something more, Amy Irving, visited on the set by Steven Spielberg, perhaps where that all began, alongside beloved Nancy Allen (who is responsible for connecting me with Bill, making this conversation possible), John Travolta, Betty Buckley, Piper Laurie, Cissy Spacek-some great stories there, we talked about The Greatest American Hero, and the risk back then of going from film to TV, working with Robert Culp, and Connie Selleca, House, and George Wendt, great Sci-Fi with The Man From Earth, why he no longer does theatre, does only good films for friends, like last years' Pursuit with John Cusack and an upcoming film with Alfred Molina. We talked about music throughout his life, bands in high school, playing clubs later on, a pop hit, lots of musical theatre culminating with Pippin and Fosse, and a musical about and working with, Randy Newman, which his love for came out his pores when describing, to his current passion Jazz project. William Katt is a Renaissance man. We already know he looks great in tights. What FUN!!!!

The third and final installment of my exploration of all things Culp. We start in 1980 with The Love Boat and weave our way through The Greatest American Hero, Columbo Goes To College, I Spy Returns, and tons more. Speaking of weaving, we'll also weave in some of my thoughts on Jack Tripper sleeping with a hot MILF, Eddie and the Cruisers, Julie McCullough's saga with both Kirk Cameron and Scott Baio, the creepy Jason Hervey, and The Pigeon Underwear...you had to be there. Enjoy!
Fanacek is back and so is Bob Culp. More trivia, more credits, and more tangents. We'll start with Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice and we'll work our way through Columbo and other films and TV shows. And the tangents, you ask? Well, try these on for size: Emo Rap, The Doodletown Pipers, Raquel Welch movie posters, casting couches, The ACTUAL Apollo 13 "Houston" quote, nostalgic TV Guide ads, the ease of film making in the 70s, Arnold Horseshack and The Old Testament, and the beloved 21 Jumpstreet Pilot. Boom.
Damn I love Robert Culp. I've just always dug his vibe. He is the king of guest stars and maybe the best Columbo killer of all time. Sadly, I never knew much else about him.....until now. I'm inviting you to join me on a wondrous journey where we'll yap incessantly about all 174 of Robert Culp's screen credit. Maybe not ALL 174, but pretty damn close. I'm also going to veer off the road a bit to talk about Friday the 13th Part 8, my desire to hang out at the Playboy Mansion in the late 60s, Leonard Nimoy as a Native American, and the many comebacks of The Twilight Zone. It' exhausting being Fanacek.
Sean and Steve make an appearance on The Novice Elitists podcast to discuss the classic Columbo episode "Double Exposure", starring Peter Falk and Robert Culp.
What's as absurd as the title of this episode? A few of the 18 flicks that crossed our path since our last outing.This time we learn that sometimes re-visits are just as bad as the original one, Albert Pyun teams up with JCVD with better than expected results, a few series we've been picking at are concluded, stop motion gets the spotlight it deserves, Robert Culp isn't going to put up with some juvenile delinquents, evil kids who don't worship corn do their thing and so much more!Thanks for listening!

On this episode, I pretend I'm a high profile big shot that's in town to make sure everything is running smoothly. That was just for fun. I'm trying to have fun. I mean, why not? I was going to make this episode all about Robert Culp but then it just seemed pointless. I don't really know that much about him and I couldn't find that much interesting audio to use. I also was going to have a song where I had Joe Biden singing with the autotune but he sounds so winded lately, it just didn't work. I was a little surprised at how he sounds so feeble and it sounds like he's wheezing. If he wanted to join a band he could join Weezer. He could be married to George Jefferson because he's Wheezy. This is the sort of high brow humor that you can expect from this and all the episodes.547 DaysWelcome to 547 Days, the podcast that gives you an inside look at two musicians...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showhunchbunny.com

This week the kids discuss the 1997 Japanese classic, Cure, by Kiyoshi Kurosawa. But first! They discuss L.A. finance, Jane Fonda, Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight, Ernest Dickerson, Billy Zane, William Sadler, the weird career of Dennis Miller, Disclosure, The Net, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, Columbo, Robert Culp, Straw Dogs, Video Archives, The Loved One, and more. From Wiki: “Cure (キュア, Kyua) is a 1997 Japanese psychological thriller film written and directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, starring Kōji Yakusho, Masato Hagiwara, Tsuyoshi Ujiki and Anna Nakagawa. The story follows a detective investigating a string of gruesome murders where an X is carved into the neck of each victim, and the murderer is found near the victim of each case and remembers nothing of the crime. It is considered a progenitor of the explosion of Japanese horror media in the late 1990s and early 2000s, preceding other releases like Hideo Nakata's Ring and Takashi Shimizu's Ju-On: The Grudge.[1]” NEXT WEEK: Pearl Website: http://www.bloodhauspod.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/BloodhausPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/ Email: bloodhauspod@gmail.com Drusilla's art: https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/ Drusilla's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydesister/ Drusilla's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/drew_phillips/ Joshua's website: https://www.joshuaconkel.com/ Joshua's Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoshuaConkel Joshua's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/ Joshua's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/joshuaconkel

A Walter Hill Film is the first critical biography of Walter Hill, the legendary writer-director producer whose filmography includes 48 HRS. films, The Warriors, The Long Riders, Southern Comfort, Geronimo, Streets of Fire, Wild Bill, Broken Trail, the Alien films, and the pilot for Deadwood.The author is Walter Chaw, film critic for Film Freak Central and a contributor to The New York Times, Vulture, NPR and many other publications. The James Joyce of crime fiction James Ellroy wrote the introduction. The foreword is by Larry Gross, Hill's writing partner on 48 HRS. The book also includes a note from Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Last Night in Soho.From the author: "A Walter Hill Film is a 400-page critical study of Walter Hill's films and early screenplays that began, as a lot of these projects do, with a question. I had recently gotten the opportunity to watch The Warriors and Streets of Fire on 35mm archival prints and even though I had seen them before, revisiting them at this time, in that format, was… visceral? Kinetic? Exhilarating. All of those things in a way almost physical, and I wanted to know what it was about these pictures - and their director, Walter Hill, that could inspire so specific a response. I felt like I was on fire. Along with a couple hundred devotees, I floated out of the auditorium. Who the hell was this guy?So I looked for books about Hill and discovered that there was one - but it was in Italian. There might be another in German, I'm not sure. But there had been no serious critical studies of him in English. Charles Taylor wrote an incredible essay about Robert Culp's Hickey & Boggs, Hill's first produced screenplay, but aside from a few rich interviews and archival videos, there wasn't much scholarship. Part of that has to do I think with Hill's own aversion to dwelling too much on his own work; but mostly, I think Hill's films are seen as merely action movies, ‘guy flicks' easily digestible and just as easily disposable. The more I watched his movies, though, the more I saw Hill as continuing in the tradition of filmmakers like Nicholas Ray, Sam Peckinpah, Howard Hawks and, especially, Robert Aldrich. Aldrich who, born to wealth and privilege, gave it all up to make ‘guy flicks' that were nonetheless rooted in social awareness and protest.I'm not an archivist, not a historian, really, and though I enjoy interviewing my heroes, I wouldn't say I have a particular gift nor interest in it. What I can do, though, is watch a body of work and identify throughlines in it that speak to me. I can, in other words, write about myself. I think that's what good critics do. A Walter Hill Film is a study of a career that has revealed itself to me as extraordinarily sensitive to issues around race and gender; a “man's man” director actually brave enough to show things as they really are in our world: broken, hostile towards culturally-proscribed underclasses. with pieces consistent through what is now a seventh decade. Of course James Ellroy wrote the introduction for it.I spoke with Hill throughout the long, four-year process of this volume, and to a few of his collaborators as well, but this isn'ta “behind-the-scenes” or 'making of' memoir. It's a process of unpacking the life's work of an important American artist. It's a book about figuring out something about these movies that set me on fire."A Walter Hill Film is being published by MZS Press, Matt Zoller Seitz's arts books imprint.
