BONUS Tie-in 42 - Lethal Weapon (teaser)

Uncut Gems Podcast

In this December Bonus Tie-in podcast we are linking to our main show conversations about Shane Black movies by talking about the breakout hit that blew open the door to Hollywood fame for him: the 1987 Richard Donner-directed Lethal Weapon. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the 80s buddy cop movies and how Shane Black both capitalizes on the 70s Hollywood while charting ways for others to follow, the chemistry between Danny Glover and Mel Gibson and the unique allure of using real helicopters on film sets. We also talk about the etiquette of barging into bathrooms to wish someone happy birthday, the very idea of taking a morning bath instead of a shower and whether Martin Riggs being slightly unhinged was merely Mel Gibson being himself.

Tune in and enjoy!
