Listen "88: Fireworks (はなび) (1997) and The Killer Inside Me (2010)"
Episode Synopsis
Text Matt & Adam!Bad Cop films that neither of us has seen is this week's theme. Japanese director Beat Takeshi's, "Fireworks" (1997), was up first and both M&A thought it was excellent and unique in so many ways. A film with very little dialogue, Takeshi has stripped his movie of all excess so not a word or frame is wasted. Very French New Wave. On the other hand, "The Killer Inside Me" (2010) is a bad cop movie that is also really bad. The boys both thought Casey Affleck was miscast as the sociopathic deputy sheriff and the ending is as horrible as it gets. Pure garbage.Next show: Casino movies with "Croupier" (1998) and "Molly's Game" (2017).Thanks for listening!Did we get something wrong? Have your own recommendations?
