In the latest episode of the FILMS I OWN BUT HAVEN'T WATCHED YET podcast, a special spin-off from WN MOVIE TALK PODCAST, I dive into another film from my ever-expanding DVD collection. This week, I randomly selected 'Get Shorty,' a crime comedy starring John Travolta, which was released in the wake of the iconic 'Pulp Fiction.' Join me as I watch it for the first time and share my review!
"Get Shorty" (1995) is a sharp and witty crime comedy directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, featuring John Travolta in the lead role. Travolta plays Chili Palmer, a charming and shrewd Miami loan shark who finds himself in Hollywood on a mission to collect a debt. Intrigued by the movie business, Chili decides to try his hand at producing a film. With a star-studded cast including Gene Hackman, Rene Russo, and Danny DeVito, "Get Shorty" offers a satirical glimpse into the world of filmmaking. The film, based on Elmore Leonard's novel of the same name, is celebrated for its clever script, engaging performances, and the seamless blend of crime and comedy.
