This weeks show is a little different. We begin with a tribute and a look back, then we take a look into the future and discuss what we will be watching in the summer of 2015
A combat vet who spent 18 years as a cop in Chicago isn't exactly typical in the acting world. But, that's what made Dennis Farina so awesome. He was anything but typical, and we decided to pay tribute to him.
Then we take a look into the future and discuss just how risk averse Hollywood is these days.

There are a few names that come to mind when discussing the films of our childhood.
Mel Brooks taught us all about satire.
Tom Hanks showed us that nice guys don't always finish last.
Kevin Bacon was the guy who was too cool to be our friend, but was our friend anyway.
But none of them were the guy you really wanted to be.
That guy was Bill Murray.
Just the name, Bill Fucking Murray...
He was the comic king of our voyeuristic youth. Every movie he was in, no matter how small the part, was somehow a Bill Murray movie.
The man was funny, cool, had a bit of an edge... in short, he was everything you wanted to be.
This week, at long, long last, we take a look at the career of the man who stands head and shoulders above us all.

The only two things a man can never avoid are death and taxes. But since a movie about someone doing their taxes would be foolish, people tend to die on screen quite a lot.
This week we take a look at some of the best, the worst, and the funniest death scenes in movies.

There are very few directors that have come as close to batting 1000 as Michael Mann. For years it appeared as if he was incapable of making a bad movie. He has slipped a little in recent years, but he is still very close to being perfect.
This week we discuss the man behind some of the most visually striking, narrative tight, and brilliantly acted films ever made.
