This week's episode begins in full “Bad Dads” mode: we're recording with barely any gear in sight, arguing about blinking lights, and realising—mid-flow—that “Island Week” might have scrambled everyone's brains. But the chaos is fitting, because the film we tackle is The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996)… a movie so famously cursed it feels like it was assembled in a panic from whatever footage survived the production.Based on the H.G. Wells story, it follows Edward Douglas (David Thewlis), a plane-crash survivor rescued at sea and dumped onto a remote island run by the mysteriously missing (and very infamous) Dr. Moreau (Marlon Brando). Douglas is told not to wander. Naturally, he wanders—straight into a nightmare lab of human–animal hybrids, bizarre rituals, and creatures that look like they were costumed by a school drama department on a tight deadline.What we cover in the episodeWhy this film is notorious: the on-set chaos, the director being fired two days in, and the sense the final cut is basically a patchwork survival story.Brando's “what am I watching?” performance: whiteface, robe, bizarre headgear, godlike status on the island… and an energy that suggests nobody was in control.Val Kilmer as peak 90s disaster energy: an increasingly unhinged presence, and how behind-the-scenes dysfunction seems to bleed into the film itself.The hybrids: early reveals, dodgy prosthetics, worse CGI, and one moment that completely breaks the brain (yes, a human-llama birth).The island society: worship, obedience via pain-inducing implants, and the whole thing drifting into cult vibes.When it goes full pantomime: the uprising, the armory, and the film's most unintentionally hilarious image—a creature firing a machine gun with a hoof.A bleak, messy ending: power vacuums, violence, and an escape plan so flimsy the biggest concern becomes… why isn't he wearing a hat?The verdictThis isn't a “good film” recommendation. This is a you-have-to-see-it recommendation. It's only about 90 minutes, it's weirdly breezy, and it's endlessly watchable as a cinematic car crash—especially if you enjoy hearing us dissect disasters while laughing at the parts that clearly should not be funny.If you like cult curios, notorious flops, and episodes where we're basically reviewing the production meltdown as much as the movie itself—this one's for you.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

In this inaugural bonus tie-in podcast for the year 2026, which also happens to be the year of the 1980's for us on the show, we are tying into our January debates on 80's fantasy trend with our take on the 1988 Willow. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us retrace the oral history of how this movie came together and how it all led back to George Lucas and Star Wars. We talk about Ron Howard as a directorial presence stylistically aligned to Lucas and Spielberg, the many struggles of building a universe from the ground up and that fundamental archetypes seem to work best for audiences. We also discuss Warwick Davis as a lead (and the fact he wasn't the top billing in the credits), Val Kilmer as a lovable rogue and we also try to map the entire movie onto the framework of Star Wars. We touch on the film's villain problem, its groundbreaking special effects and much more!Tune in and enjoy!

Mr. Monopoly picked the Val Kilmer film 2:22 from 2008. It was on the podcast calendar and episode spreadsheet as such. Old Tomato Face watched the first 2:22 film he came across, which was from 2017. The pantheon decided to cover both and asked McFly to keep tangents in, as they still couldn't fill an hour. These are their stories... dun dun. You might also like episode 205: You Only Live Twice (1967). Week 3's topic will be Three Amigos (1986).
Impact-Site-Verification: 1897387360It's the first new physical media roundup of 2026 with Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski. They include Jim Jarmusch's love-it-or-hate-it western and Val Kilmer's Native American murder mystery. They debate the volcano movies of 1997 and remind everyone of Kevin Spacey's alien movie. One of the great, seemingly forgotten, Stephen King adaptations gets an upgrade as does perhaps the best Steven Seagal film and another of John Woo's classics.

In this episode of Badlands Story Hour, Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive into Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Shane Black's darkly comedic neo-noir starring Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer. The discussion explores the film's layered storytelling, fourth-wall breaks, and sharp Hollywood satire, examining how Black blends crime fiction, meta-commentary, and character-driven humor. Drawing from personal experience and cultural context, the hosts unpack the film's portrayal of Hollywood ambition, moral decay, transactional relationships, and the thin line between art and cynicism. They also analyze Downey Jr.'s breakout performance, Val Kilmer's scene-stealing role, and the movie's balance of comedy, violence, and unexpected humanity. The episode closes with reflections on storytelling, redemption, and why Kiss Kiss Bang Bang remains a uniquely clever entry in early 2000s cinema.
Merry Christmas, Slackers!It's hard to believe, but this year marks the 35th anniversary of Home Alone, a film that remains one of the most fun (and durable) Christmas flicks. It is made that much more interesting with Macauley Culkin back on a press junket for this season of Fallout, along with the just completed Home Alone tour.We also lost several influential figures from film, television, and music in 2025. Legends like Gene Hackman and Ozzy Osbourne, icons like Val Kilmer, and the more recent and tragic passings of Rob Reiner and James Ransone.Getting back to the holiday festivities, let's take a look at the “hot gifts” of 1975, like Pet Rocks, Mood Rings, and the excitement around early Atari systems - and from 1985, with Teddy Ruxpin, Cabbage Patch Kids, and the first wave of Nintendo home gaming dominance. The episode closes with an overview of what's driving wish lists this Christmas in 2025 - the Nintendo Switch 2 leading the way, alongside interactive toys, viral collectibles, smart tech, cozy lifestyle items, and other high-demand gifts. Thanks for listening, and I wish you a warm, peaceful Christmas.

Kilmas comes but once a year! This year we’re climbing into the cockpit and revisiting 1986’s “Top Gun,” starring some airplanes, Val Kilmer, and Tom Cruise. It’s a very subtle movie. Were Tony’s parents right in protecting his young mind from it? And most importantly, why do we remember Val Kilmer’s character being the villain when he’s actually the conscience of the entire film? Jason Snell with Annette Wierstra, Katie Mack, Erika Ensign, Tony Sindelar and Brian Warren.
Armed with his Val Kilmer hat for inspiration, Jason took a trip to [REDACTED] for a commercial shoot! In a There It Is first, Jason chronicles what life can be like for an actor when they book a gig on a Monday and fly out that Thursday. He shares anecdotes about bad airplane passengers, what it was like being away from home for a week during the holiday season, what he did to stick to a routine while on the road, how he stayed busy and focused during downtime, told some funny stories about the day-to-day experiences he was having, and how he used the time wisely to reflect and be productive. It's a unique insight into the life of an actor. Gig life!

Marking the film's 30th anniversary, this episode revisits Heat's opening heist through its final standoff. We unpack why Michael Mann's crime drama remains essential viewing and how Al Pacino and Robert De Niro anchor a sprawling ensemble, including Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, Amy Brenneman, and Ashley Judd, among others. We explore Michael Mann's meticulous production design, LA as a character, and the meticulous pacing that keeps Heat tactile and immersive—featuring insights into how the film's cast brings those pages to life. We also explore the coming together of two screen legends navigating duty, honor, and obsession in a film built around restraint as much as firepower. We break down the chemistry between Pacino and De Niro, and how it became the cornerstone of the film's marketing campaign. Joining in for this discussion is Dustin Rybka, one of the new co-hosts of our upcoming spinoff, and he helps dive into why Heat is still considered one of the best movies of its kind 30 years later.Where To Watch Heat
Gotham gets neon, chaotic, and downright wild as Dom, ILL, and Q slide into Batman Forever (1995) — the third film in the Batman series and the first to bring Val Kilmer under the cape and cowl.Directed by Joel Schumacher and produced by Tim Burton, this movie delivers big villains, big performances, and even bigger vibes with Jim Carrey's Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face going full 90s madness. Meanwhile, Batman tries to keep his identity safe, catch these villains, deal with his new therapist/love interest Dr. Chase Meridian (Nicole Kidman), AND adopt an acrobat turned vigilante: Dick Grayson / Robin (Chris O'Donnell).In this episode, we break down: Val Kilmer's take on Batman Jim Carrey's legendary over-the-top Riddler Two-Face's chaotic energy The glowing, toy-commercial Gotham And whether Batman Forever holds up in 2025
Out of the normal and into the paranormal in this 2011 supernatural murder mystery by Francis Ford Coppola. Twixt now rebranded as B'Twixt Now and Sunrise which was recut as the ‘Authentic Cut' in 2022. Will his changes make a difference in this box office flop? Big guns were brought on board for this film, Val Kilmer, Bruce Dern, Elle Fanning and Ben Chaplin in their respected rolls as author, Edgar Allan Poe, the animated sheriff and the vampire/ghoulish girl.Hall Baltimore writes books about witch hunting and is in a slump so he travels to a small US town for a book signing in the hopes are reinvigorating himself.Nobody knows who he is except the sheriff who hopes that his latest idea is suitable for Baltimore's latest book. He tells a twisted tale about the murder of kids, vampires across the lake, and a ghost that haunts the town to this day. Will Hall Baltimore and Sheriff Bobby LaGrange solve this mystery and get the book written? Baltimore gets a little help along the way from a mysterious 13 year old girl and the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe who appears in his dreams.This film bombed at the box office, but was also trashed by critiques and the average movie goer alike. Stewart, Rastislav and Ken take a deep dive into the film and uncover some of the symbolism but also criticize the plot which didn't make much sense. Even with the big name actors and the comical moments, it seems this is a ghastly tale indeed.Written and Directed by Francis Ford Coppola and shot mostly at his own estate.

This week, we dive into the neon-soaked psychological chaos of Batman Forever (1995)! We analyze Val Kilmer's fractured Bruce Wayne, the dynamic debut of Chris O'Donnell's Robin, and Nicole Kidman's Dr. Chase Meridian. The focus: the spectacular, highly theatrical war waged by Jim Carrey's Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face, as they attempt to steal the minds of Gotham with a mass-hypnosis device. Did Joel Schumacher's vision strike the perfect balance between pop-art spectacle and darkness? Tune in!

Our 2000s Holiday Noir miniseries kicks off with a film that helped relaunch Robert Downey Jr.'s career and reintroduced Shane Black to a new generation: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Phil and Emily are joined by film critic and historian Alonso Duralde to unpack why this meta-crime-comedy still feels like lightning in a bottle.The trio digs into the movie's razor-sharp script, its chaotic but affectionate relationship to noir, and the way Shane Black balances darkness with a wink. They explore Michelle Monaghan's standout performance, Val Kilmer's iconic turn as Gay Perry, and what made this moment in RDJ's career so precarious and so thrilling.They also dive into the film's tone-shifting structure, its overplotted charm, its self-aware narration, and why the movie's emotional core sneaks up on you. Along the way, they talk Shane Black's imitators, the difficulty of pulling off postmodern genre homage, and how this film manages to love the very tropes it skewers. Whether Kiss Kiss Bang Bang has been a long-time favorite or a movie you somehow missed, this episode revisits the 2005 cult classic with fresh eyes, big laughs, and a deep appreciation for what makes it so deceptively tricky and so rewatchable.

In honor of its upcoming 30th Anniversary next month, here is our newly remastered (with additional content) review of one of The Greatest Films Ever!“Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner….” – Neil McCauley, 1995And that's the apparent thesis for one of the most beloved films of the past thirty years spoken by living legend Robert DeNiro sitting across from fellow living legend Al Pacino. Or is it really the main theme of the movie? Maybe it's just something cool-sounding that a tough guy says but doesn't really follow through on….director Michael Mann examines that very question among so many others during this almost three hour crime epic focusing on the brewing conflict between two self-obsessed master tacticians on both sides of the law…and the women who love them….along with every one else whose lives they impact. This STACKED cast also includes Val Kilmer, Diana Venora, Amy Brenneman, Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, Wes Studi, Dennis Haysbert, Mykelti Williamson, Danny Trejo, and Ted Levine among SO many others. Let's find out if The Action Really IS The Juice…..Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

It is time once more to enter the gates of VAL-halla, our retrospective series on the late Hollywood icon Val Kilmer. Paul, Arlo, and Eric set their sights on what are possibly Kilmer's two best performances. First, in Oliver Stone's psychedelic biopic The Doors, Val embodies the Lizard King himself, Mr. Mojo Rising, Jim Morrison; and then, in George P. Cosmatos'--or is that Kurt Russell's?--glossy Western Tombstone, Kilmer brings new life to Doc Holliday. The gang discusses Val's generational run in the '90s; why The Doors works when most rock biopics don't; and debate the merits of '90s Westerns. Plus, a brief sojourn into the world of Alien: Earth. NEXT: because journalism matters, we're doing an episode all about AMC's Interview with the Vampire. Molloy hive rise up.

Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's James Gunn's Superman, here to launch the writer-director-studio-head's brand new (?) DC Universe. It moves faster than a speeding bullet despite having more plot than the last five Marvel movies put together–and some of those plot points hold up better to the green-K gaze of our hosts than others. Paul, Arlo, and Eric break down everything about this new big screen Man of Steel, including a perfect cast, major deviations from Superman's origin, Gunn's unabashedly political script, fuckboi Jimmy Olsen, and so much more. Maybe the film doesn't leap tall expectations in a single bound, but a movie like this has much more up (up and away) its Super-sleeve than any billionaire skinhead would expect. Plus, the gang dives deep into the sewers for a read-through of IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles saga. NEXT: it's time once again to enter the gates of VAL-halla, as the gang discusses two of Val Kilmer's most iconic performances, namely as Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone's 1991 psych-biopic The Doors and Doc Holliday in 1994's neo-Western Tombstone.

We kick off #New-woirvember 2 with an interview with one of the coolest people we have ever met, writer/director Eric Blakeney, who wrote for New World Television's series Crime Story (produced by Michael Mann) as well as the TV movie GENERATION X, the first live-action adaptation of the X-Men from Marvel Comics. Eric takes us through his career, which included stints on the TV series Wiseguy, writing and then running 21 Jump Street, creating the character and spin-off Booker, and writing and directing his own feature, 2000's GUN SHY, starring Liam Neeson and Sandra Bullock. In this episode, you'll discover what Stan Lee's favorite drink was, how Michael Man was to work with at the height of his Miami Vice power, how Woody Allen ruined Eric's opportunity to make a film with Val Kilmer, how Johnny Depp was on the set of 21 Jump Street and his rivalry with Richard Grieco, and how Eric ended up working with MAD MAX director George Miller! This interview is truly a ride filled with great stories and humor in the way that only Eric could tell. We can't thank Eric enough for being on the show and sharing his career with us, we know it's an episode you won't want to miss!

He then attended New York University where he won the coveted Best Picture Award at the Student Academy Awards in 1990 for his film, "...so you like this girl". In 1991, Marcus was called out to Los Angeles by filmmaker Sean S. Cunningham (the director of the original Friday the 13th) to work on producing and directing features. That same year, he co-produced Johnny Zombie (retitled My Boyfriend's Back) for Cunningham and Disney Studios.In 1993, Marcus wrote the story for and directed the ninth film in the Friday the 13th series, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday for New Line.

Send us a textIn this episode, we're joined by screenwriter Jack Epps, Jr. and his student, up and coming screenwriter Kate Ginley, who is writing a screenplay about Pan Am and Tenerife.Jack is now a professor and Chair of the Writing for Screen and Television Division at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, also known as USC. But you probably already know of him from the most iconic aviation films ever made — the 1986 blockbuster Top Gun, which he co-wrote with his longtime screenwriting partner, Jim Cash. Starring Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, Top Gun didn't just redefine aviation movies — it became a cultural phenomenon. It inspired generations of aviators, reignited pride in flight, and set the gold standard for how aviation could be portrayed on screen.The film was also a popular hit during its run as a featured movie of Pan Am's Theatre in the Air. Beyond the breathtaking aerial footage, Top Gun is a brilliant study in the craft of screenwriting — how character, emotion, and story structure come together to create cinematic magic.After Top Gun, Jack Epps, Jr. and Jim Cash went on to write a series of major Hollywood hits, including Legal Eagles, The Secret of My Success, Dick Tracy, and Turner & Hooch. Today, Jack brings that same storytelling mastery to his students at USC — shaping the next generation of screenwriters and filmmakers.In our conversation, we'll talk about Jack's remarkable career, his insights into the art and discipline of screenwriting, the enduring legacy of Top Gun, and how Kate is carrying that storytelling spirit forward in her new screenplay about Pan Am and the tragedy at Tenerife.Support the show Visit Us for more Pan Am History!

And can Amanda and Elyse find a villain hero I'd be interested in? Nah.As I said in the original intro:This is what happens when Sarah, Amanda, and Elyse get really silly, and stop making sense. And given that this has been A Rough Week, we hope you enjoy our completely bubbly, goofy, discussion.It's still been a rough week!
