KilmerKast

Oh joyous day, we got more 50 Cent goodness on the 'Kast! This time, he's partnering with Val to fight crime in New Orleans, in a Katrina-tinged bit of ridiculousness. Comic Brian McGuinness is back too, as it was meant to be, He helps try to figure out what exactly Sharon Stone does for a living, why you'd use razor wire for toilet paper, and how you commit the unforgivable sin of using the papyrus font. Spoiler alert:we don't solve anything! But it's a fun time. 

We’re going on safari, as Alex Fernie (Childrens Hospital, Bajillion Dollar Propertie$) stops by to chat about The Ghost & The Darkness. While discussing the good and bad of the film, we also chat about why Die Hard ruined movies, questionable accents, hilarious lion attacks, debate if lions are scarier than Freddy Krueger, and much, much more. Grab your pith helmet and enjoy the trip!

Take a trip to an idyllic island paradise made for animal lovers, as Tyler Foster joins the show to talk about the troubled production of The Island of Dr. Moreau, the match-up of two acting titans in Val Kilmer and Marlon Brando, the interesting themes touched upon in a boring movie, and the unending appeal of the Macarena. Plus we play a game!  

There's not a lot of Val in this film, but there's still plenty to talk about with movie geek Marc Edward Heuck (The Projector Has Been Drinking), as we chat about Werner Herzog's growth as a pop-culture icon and how he gets no respect, remember how great USA Network was back in the day, talk cycles and redemption and look back at the career of Eva Mendes. Give a listen and get in touch with your inner iguana.

We're going on a heist with Robert DeNiro, checking out a great ass with Al Pacino, and talking about Heat with Matt Curione, editor at large of Talk Film Society and co-host of the Monsters Never Die podcast. We chat about scary actors, forgotten supporting characters and whether there's a Hollywood ending here, while lamenting the overall lack of Val Kilmer, but celebrating the quality of what we got. Grab a hockey mask and let's go to work.

Ricky Roxburgh (the upcoming Monsters at Work series) returns to the KilmerKast studios to talk about Hardwired and its limited dose of Vitamin V. We get upset trying to unpack Hope Industries’ evil advertising scheme, and while we do that, we try to figure out why Cuba Gooding Jr. is playing the opposite of Rod Tidwell, talk about a young Tatiana Maslany, explore who exactly that guy is on the movie’s cover art, and what is up with Val’s hair. We also play a new game, Evil Incorporated. Come give a listen (it's more enjoyable than the movie!)

Emmy-winning writer Ricky Roxburgh (Tangled the Series, The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse) returns to the show to take a look at Val Kilmer’s turn under the cowl in Batman Forever. We talk codpieces and horny psychiatrists, the weird connection between Christian children’s television and the Dark Knight, hidden lair infrastructure, getting killed thanks to your kid and why The Ridder shouldn’t exist. We also play Which Bat is That. Join us in the bat cave for some bat chat.

Take a trip to sunny Bulgaria, as Val Kilmer plays a doctor who might be a secret agent, but he's probably just a sad guy crushing on a former ballerina, who also has ability to outrun cops and police, but can't shave. Matthew Poirier, the Direct to Video Connoisseur, will try to help make sense of it all, even if, in the end, it makes no sense. We also play a game in Swedish! Put on a tux and join us as we try to evade diamond smugglers and our ex-wife!

Matthew McCue (The Track) returns to the show to chat about the 2010 family drama Bloodworth, where Val Kilmer plays the boozing, womanizing son of a country singer who abandoned his family. We talk about witchcraft, salty Bible verses, the value of narration, questioning one’s own intelligence, and why when someone’s going to shoot you, you want them to look at you. We also play a new game, Grand Faux Opry. Join us for some southern-fried insanity.
