Which one of you two looks most like a football movie? This week, we welcome Ali back to the show to discuss a couple of sports-related flicks: The Last Boy Scout (1991) directed by Tony Scott and The Last Match (1990), directed by Fabrizio de Angelis. Get ready for some pop psychoanalysis of Shane Black, a close examination of the early 90's Bruce Willis screen persona, and just how weird it got for aging Hollywood stars in the dregs of Italian exploitation fare around the same time.



We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for The Last Boy Scout by skipping ahead to the 1:09:36 mark, and for The Last Match by skipping ahead to 1:51:59.
