Episode 12: The Last Boy Scout




Deconstructing Movies Podcast show

Summary: In our latest episode, we take on the 1991 action comedy The Last Boy Scout. Bruce Willis. Damon Wayans. Taylor Negron. Billy Blanks. A cat puppet. What's not to like? This is the movie that Bruce Willis made after two Die Hards. This is the movie Tony Scott directed with Top Gun on his resume. This is the movie Shane Black wrote after doing two Lethal Weapons. We had fond memories of this movie... In this episode, we discuss where Joe Hallenbeck ranks on the list of Bruce WIllis's down and out characters, the desensitized nature of early '90s LA, and the idea of fixing a football game for a win. This episode, as they say, is the kind that shreds.
