Episode Description
Oz and Curtis are nursing a drink, checking for dead squirrels in the car, and wondering where the hell the cigarettes went to break down the cynical, stylish Action Thriller: The Last Boy Scout!
Washed-up private investigator Joe Hallenbeck (Bruce Willis) is a disgraced former Secret Service agent whose life is falling apart. When a simple protection job goes sideways, he is forced to team up with the client's boyfriend, disgraced former pro quarterback Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans). The unlikely duo stumbles onto a massive conspiracy involving corrupt football owners, legalized gambling, and political assassination that leads to one of the most violent, quotable climaxes in cinema history.
We break down the film’s essential ingredients: the machine-gun Shane Black dialogue, the stunning, high-contrast visual style of director Tony Scott, the surprisingly sharp chemistry between Willis and Wayans, and the film's total disregard for subtlety or rules. Is The Last Boy Scout an undervalued Buddy Cop Movie and a must-see Cult Classic, or just a movie that proves if you touch Joe Hallenbeck again, he will kill you? Tune in for our full The Last Boy Scout 1991 movie review!
If you’re into analyzing Shane Black's signature Christmas-in-L.A. settings, appreciating dark humor mixed with extreme violence, or listening to two dudes who would definitely not survive the first ten minutes, this episode is for you.
