    Ranking The Top 5 Bruce Willis Films

    Ranking The Top 5 Bruce Willis Films

    Our very own Sean O’Connell has his latest book releasing this week. “Bruce Willis: Celebrating the Cinematic Legacy of an Unbreakable Hollywood Icon” walks through the acclaimed actor’s entire filmography and career. So we thought what better time than now to look back and rank our top five Bruce Willis movies? 
    We are trying something new with this list. Instead of simply revealing a pre-structured list, we are taking you through the process. First, we draft up nine of his films for consideration. Then, we reduce the list to the five we want to rank and finally debate the order. 
    Also this week, we review “Inside Out 2,” and catch up on “Bad Boys: Ride or Die.”

    This Iconic Line Fixed A Major Problem In 'Dazed And Confused' | Richard Linklater Interview

    This Iconic Line Fixed A Major Problem In 'Dazed And Confused' | Richard Linklater Interview

    Richard Linklater’s latest film “Hit Man,” starring Glen Powell and Adria Arjona, is now available to stream on Netflix, and the legendary writer-director sat down with us to discuss the making of his (sort of based on a true story) film, and his career. We dive into his process of working with actors, finding chemistry on screen, the prospects of a “School of Rock” sequel, and an incredible story about Matthew McConaughey’s iconic “Dazed and Confused” line. 
    It’s our first full show back from our hiatus, so we also take some time to discuss what we’ve been watching, Disney’s new “Star Wars” series “The Acolyte,” and we celebrate the incredible influence of Scott Wampler following his passing.

    ReelBlend Redux | Quentin Tarantino Talks 'Pulp Fiction,' Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio & More

    This week, we return with one of our all-time favorite interviews. Originally recorded in December of 2019, we are joined by Quentin Tarantino for an extended, 2-hour conversation spanning the legendary director's career. We sat down with Tarantino for the home video release of "Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood," so we of course spent a lot of our time with him discussing the making of the film, casting Al Pacino, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Brad Pitt’s perfect casting, and more. 
    That is just the tip of this iceberg. Stick around through the conversation for his thoughts on being snubbed at the Oscars, "Pulp Fiction," Bruce Willis nearly cast as Bill in "Kill Bill," and more.

    George Miller Interview | 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' Stunts, Chris Hemsworth & More

    Legendary director George Miller joins the show for the release of his latest entry in the Mad Max franchise, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The franchise has been cruising for over four decades, and the filmmaker takes us all the way back to the beginning with memories of early, negative reviews and the cultural wave that eventually grew into what it is today. 
    We discuss some obvious, and not-so-obvious, changes to how stunts and special effects shots are made, watching Road Warrior 30 years later, and more.
