EPISODE #449-- We're almost there! To whet your appetite for the big 4-5-0 and to commemorate the life of leading man and weird-energy-haver, Val Kilmer, we're talking Ron Howard's WILLOW from 1988. It's not a good movie! I think it's a pretty good episode, though. You all know Willow. You know what's up.

We also rap quizotically about Sidney Lumet's BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD (2007), Tony Gilroy's ANDOR, Season 1 (2022), Apple TV's THE STUDIO (2025), and Yang Fengliang and Zhang Yimou's JU DOU (1991). A solid spread of cinematic splendor, I say!
