This week on THE BIG 4-0, Ron and Peter discover one of the best and one of the worst movies of the year. Find out which is which of these two films - VARIETY and MALIBU EXPRESS - that most of our listeners have likely never heard of (we know we said we were doing MASK but you know what, fuck streaming, as we discuss). We also bid a sad farewell to one of our favorites, Gene Hackman (a story that has only gotten sadder since we recorded this episode just a few days ago), and briefly discuss our thoughts on the 2025 Oscars, which took place this past week. Please remember to Rate, Like, and Subscribe; and we'll be back next week to wish FRIDAY THE 13TH PART V: A NEW BEGINNING and THE LAST DRAGON a very happy BIG 4-0!
