In this "Normal World" episode, Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela pay tribute to Val Kilmer following reports of his passing. The conversation spans Kilmer’s iconic roles, the impact of real movie stars, and how Hollywood’s obsession with identity politics and DEI is ruining storytelling. They roast Disney’s disastrous "Snow White" reboot, Rachel Zegler’s PR missteps, and the industry’s erasure of mid-budget, heartfelt films in favor of agenda-driven flops. They tackle the state of acting, the pressure of lead roles, studio cowardice, and the echo chamber killing creativity. From "Star Wars" failures to dwarfs losing roles to Peter Dinklage’s hypocrisy, the crew call out the absurdity. They dive into the loss of moviegoing culture, why conservatives should fund real art, and how AI dog translators might be the next nightmare. This episode of "Normal World" features special guest Matthew Marsden.
