In this episode, Mike and Steven round out Hitman Month with a real gem: Grosse Pointe Blank.
Hitman Month continues this week with David Fincher’s Netflix film The Killer. He is a director around whom there is a lot of conversation, primarily because of his meticulousness. Mike and Steven get deep into that in this episode and their different interpretations of the film. They also close out the show with a familiar topic: the state of movie theaters.
This week Mike and Steven talk in-depth about Richard Linklater’s new film Hit Man and how it fits into this month’s theme of . . . hitmen. They also discuss Netflix’s baffling release strategy of putting these films into a very small number of theaters for a short period of time.
In this episode, we kick off hitman month as we discuss the movie Joel Schumacher’s Assassins, a vehicle for Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas that really allows them to show off their acting styles.
