And written by Frank Miller! Before he went insane!

Also, easily, easily the best score out of the three movies here. No fuckin toodle noodle here. Just Alan Silvestri, son.

You've heard the expression, "let's get busy"? Well, this is a slug who gets "biz-zay!" Consistently and thoroughly.

Predator, Die Hard, and Hunt for the Red October are all-time, ALL TIME rewatchable movies. Get into those at any time, any minute, you're good to go. Great leads, great character secondary actors, fantastically done concepts, not a wasted moment on screen.

Nicely settled.

Jesus, that guy was mandated to be in basically every guys movie from 1985-1990.

He's taken quite a few very troubled actors under his wing as well. Robert Downey Junior, for one, says he saved him.

He was in junior high, dickhead.

Something that makes this movie work well (although given the budget, probably not too *planned*) is that is is absolutely fucking disgusting looking. The apartments, streets, cars, clothes, jesus christ, everything looks awful. You can smell the cigarette ash and cooking grease and spoiled milk everywhere.

He seems to play a LOT of serial killers.

That show was really good from the get go, but 'Beyond the Sea' was a true stand-out from the first season. Dourif is electrifying, and it's really interesting to contrast him with Duchovny/Mulder, who has a real eye-rolling sarcastic interplay with Dourif's southern freakazoid live-wire killer.

Also Phoebe has an amazing voice and cadence. It's utterly soothing and in control.

Really fun, incredibly interesting podcast! It's hard to explain that it isn't always about crime stories or criminals per se, more oftentimes about the world surrounding crime/punishment/law-enforcement.

The dissolve article nails it. How many people can you name, or at get remember pretty well, for a movie that is thirty years old? They all have fairly distinct personalities, mini-arcs, concepts, etc., without stupid flashy moments.

It's even pre-shaded when Ripley and Burke meet for the first time!

Robocop has more interesting stuff going on as a movie, for sure, and has an incredible amount of depth/satire, but Lethal Weapon is a much, much better action movie.

"Primitive painters are ships floating on an empty sea
Gathering in galleries were stallions of imagery"

Why couldn't they work it out technically?

Both parts are good. The kids stuff with the fake TV and how they interpret pop culture is really clever and wonderfully shot.

Really love that his bank robbing costume in Charley Varrick is an old man. "No one will suspect a slightly LESS older man was the real robber!"
