Bruce Willis' Detective Knight Trilogy Minisode Review
On Christmas Day, you're getting more bullshit starring Bruce Willis for the holiday: I briefly sum up Willis' final franchise that is both DIE HARD inspired and a rather forced homage/tribute on top of that. Can you tell any of the 3 entries apart or do they all fade together? Were any of them different in quality or was it all one overlong mess? Plus, a brief spotlight on the indie director/producer duo (who also co-star in these films)!

Plus, we also get to joke about other roles he did that are mainly Willis still in MOONLIGHTING mode! FILMS DISCU...

Caomh McGillion briefly stops by to help Cam sum up Bruce Willis' 30 VOD & Limited Release Movies prior to his retirement. Which initial ones were rather reasonable B-movies/unofficial DIE HARD sequels? Which ones easily rivaled the most infamous Steven Seagal/Mel Gibson/John Travolta/Sylvester Stallone/Eric Roberts/Mickey Rourke movies of late? How did the producer of NARC/LONE SURVIVOR/THE IRISHMAN orchestrate such a ponzi scheme with these bottom-of-the-barrel Action flicks?

David Lynch Tribute (with Predator Minute, Ken Bates & The Vern!)
Four of our true MVPs on the show reflect on why the late David Lynch touched so many souls in his hard-to-describe filmography. Why do so many other people go wrong by creating an ambigious fantasy world and why did he maintain people's trust in his visions? So much to unpack here but no shortage of praise in this sit-down!
