Today we are embroiled in a classic Hollywood murder...or the murder of classic Hollywood in The Player. We discuss the narrative dynamic between the destruction of artist and clawing up the corporate ladder, the frentic unraveling of Tim Robbins in an increasingly unreal world, and what movie we think we're watching as the ending upends the flick. This is one of the best movies about Showbiz ever made.

Synopsis: A hotshot Hollywood studio executive starts receiving death threats from a rejected writer.

Starring: Tim Robbins, Fred Ward, Greta Scacchi, Whoopi Goldberg, Vincent D'Onofrio

Directed by Robert Altman
