Episode 463: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)

Special Guest: Shane Black
Guest Co-Hosts: Jedidiah Ayres, Andrew Nette

Released in 2005, Shane Black's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang stars Robert Downey Jr. as Harry Lockhart, a two-bit thief who lucks his way into a Hollywood audition which puts him on a very crooked path of playing a detective along with Val Kilmer as Gay Perry. The film pays homage to pulp detectives of old by way of the slick writing style of Black in his directing debut.

Andrew Nette and Jedidiah Ayres join Mike to talk about Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Nice Guys, and more.
