The Film Thugs Movie Show

Law enforcement is not an easy job. Not only is it low paying, dangerous work, you also have a bunch of people who don't know anything about it CONSTANTLY trying to act as if they are experts. Add to that the general disregard Hollywood pays the details of jobs outside of the movie industry, and it's a surprise that there are ever any good cops on film.




This week we take a look at some of the worst. From incompetent, to corrupt, to borderline developmentally disabled we take a look at the worst cops that movies and TV have to offer.

There are some characters you just want to punch in the face. Sometimes it's on purpose, the character is meant to be annoying or off putting. But there are times when a character you are supposed to like, love, or just connect with fails, and fails miserably.

This week we take some time to spit a little vitriol in the direction of some of the characters that have annoyed us to no end.

Clint Eastwood. Is there anything else that needs to be said? What other actor has taken a role in a small, throwaway foreign film where he barely speaks and turned it into a career this big? From gruff, stoic western nomad to gruff, stoic police detective, to gruff, stoic boxing coach he has truly run the gamut of gruff, stoic leading men.

This week we take a look at the career of one of the most iconic stars in the history of film and discuss steak, because it seems fitting.

Wordy title, I know, but it gets the point across.

As long as there have been famous people there have been famous people who want nothing more than to be more famous. For some reason, acting seems to be the go to way of achieving that end.

This week we take a look at people who took the long way around to becoming actors.

It's kind of funny how a partnership between two people can go on to define those people long after the partnership ends. Look at Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Friends who wrote a movie together which won them an Oscar. The have appeared only around a half dozen movies together, but they are still viewed as parts on a whole on some level.



This week we look at the parallel careers of Damon and Affleck and see if we can figure out how they ended up in such similar, but different, places in the film world.
