Ep 222: “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”

We get to Shane Black’s “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” party and discuss:

  • Story & Writing, humor, subverting expectations;
  • Screenplay snippets, how Shane Black’s voice is distinct;
  • and other such stuff and things and stuff.

An action film can have too much action; picture an equalizer on a stereo, with all the knobs pegged at 10. It becomes a cacophony and is, ultimately, quite boring. – Shane Black
