Hey everyone, here's our newest episode on Shane Black's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang! Thanks to all of you who suggested this one on our Christmas suggestions movie post. Though we had a little trouble breaking down the plot, due to how fast it moves and how layered the story is, we still enjoyed revisiting this movie. We also talk about some of Black's other movies, like The Nice Guys. 

Stay tuned for our Patreon follow-up episode on three more of your Christmas movie suggestions!

Fuck I should've sent you Christmas on Connecticut

The Singing Detective with Michael Gambon is the single greatest thing ever produced for television. Massive Dennis Potter fan.

Love last action hero, would love to see that one covered on the podcast.

Sam Rockwell is great in iron man 2

Those Sherlock homes movies were produced by Joel Silver who also produced a lot of Shane Black’s work. He produced, The Nice Guys, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Last Boy Scout and The Lethal Weapon movies.

Also on Shane Black’s wiki, it lists what movies have a Christmas setting.

Note Nice Guys is not based on true events but rather it was based on a book, I swore to god a trailer said it was based on true events but yeah it wasn't true, I mean if it was, you would never hear the end of it

I thought they novelized it after it came out?

Might be thinking of Inherent Vice? Lots in common with Nice Guys.

KKBB's one of my favorites, perfect for the show. Discussion of Fargo was good too, would be cool to see an ep featuring something like Intolerable Cruelty or The Man Who Wasn't There. Or Raimi's A Simple Plan.

I’m pretty sure we discussed A Simple Plan on either the Frailty episode or the Patreon bonus. Let me double check!

Ah I got Gambon confused with Bob Hoskins in Pennies From Heaven

Thomas Bishop

Ah yeah, both Dennis Potter. My whole life I always mix up Michael Gambon and older Albert Finney. Just as I was typing this I looked up Gumshoe and it's blowing my mind that it was Albert Finney. I think it's because they both have big mellonous heads.
