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.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:39  -  Intro 00:21:00  -  The Doors 01:11:27  -  Tombstone 02:00:16  -  Outro / Next     LINKS Val Kilmer was electric as Jim Morrison in heroically ridiculous biopic The Doors by Luke Goodsell, The Guardian The Death of Val Kilmer and the Power of Doc Holliday by Owen Strachan, To Reenchant the World Choose Your Weapons (2025) Wisely by Eric Sipple, A Beautiful Rain of Frogs     MUSIC "The Movie" by Jim Morrison & The Doors, An American Prayer (1978) "A Feast of Friends" by Jim Morrison & The Doors, An American Prayer (1978)

In this episode, we explore the dramatic and tragic life of Susan Cabot, born Harriet Pearl Shapiro in 1927. From a childhood marked by loss and foster care in the Bronx to her rise as a Hollywood actress in Westerns and cult B-movies like Sorority Girl and The Wasp Woman, Susan's story is one of ambition, resilience, and hidden struggles. Behind the screen, she navigated secret relationships—including an alleged long-term affair with King Hussein of Jordan—motherhood, and battles with mental health. Tragically, in 1986, her only son, struggling with drug addiction, fatally stabbed her during a violent altercation at her Los Angeles home, ending her life at 58.

We close out our Westerns series with a review of dueling Wyatt Earps.

On the other side, we have Kevin Costner giving the most soulless performance of his life. This is a real contrast, one destined for cable classic status and one that really could just be wiped from the face of the earth. Take the long walk to the OK Corral with us as we watch Tombstone and Wyatt Earp on Have a Good Movie!
