Good Willis Hunting

It's the episode Sam has dreaded more than any other episode! Even more than the DTV stuff. It's Willis as a talking baby and all her nightmares coming true.

It's the movie many on the internet seem to think should have been the official Die Hard 5. It's burned out Bruce Willis protecting a birthday cake obsessed Mos Def. 16 Blocks!!

I have been weirdly excited to watch this movie so as you can imagine, that makes the disappointment that much more crushing. It's time to hear Megan Fox curse up a storm in a movie Machine Gun Kelly called a piece of shit and that dude was in Good Mourning.

I've spent 30 years hearing how Hudson Hawk is either bottom of the barrel garbage or an underappreciated in its time cult classic. It's time for us to finally provide the definitive answer!

The Siege is a movie that's now mostly known for being weirdly prescient about the next decade or so of real world events. It's actually kind of the only thing worth remembering about this movie. We do get Bad Guy Willis though!

I guess it's for the best we got the Fortress sequel right after doing the original as I can't imagine we would remember a thing about it real soon. Hear two very confused people try and figure out why on earth anyone thought this movie needed to be made and who out there saw Fortress and went "Oh I have to get more of that please!"

It's time to knock out another quality Bruce title with 1992's comedy/horror/special effects showcase Death Becomes Her. It's a first time watch for Sam and I feel it's rare to hear her gush on this show so check it out! Also hear our delight when a filmography plot twist happens in the final minutes of the show.

It's time to strike the distance! A movie apparently so bad even Bruce Willis has disowned it but is the reputation justified?  Also sorry once again for tech issues on the recording but I think we've identified the issue for going forward!

It's finally time to kick off the Fortress saga and it's also our first Chad Michael Murray / Willis joint! We watch 2020's Fortress and continue to try to be the only people with nice things to say about these movies!

In 2005 Bruce Willis released a movie called Hostage. We watched it. ...that's about all the enthusiasm we can muster.

Tech issues try and bring us down and almost succeed but not this time! We still soldier through to chat about the 2000 (we make extra sure of this fact) release - Unbreakable. I've called this my favourite M. Night Shyamalan movie for years. Is that still the case?! Oh Jesus, also Happy Canada Day! I truly hope this is how you're celebrating!

After a long hiatus (at least on our end) we return to the word of direct to video action with 2018's Acts of Violence! Let's find out if the world of DTV welcomes us back with open, loving arms!

CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses violence against children both in relation to the movie and to a recent, real world tragedy. Further details are provided in the opening of the episode. After 16 episodes we hit the first movie we've already seen but we certainly had no issues revisiting 2012's Looper. 

A new era of Good Willis Hunting is upon us! While we will still be watching and ranking the DTV stuff, we will be breaking it up with some of the Willis classics! It's only fitting that we kick this off by going all the way to the beginning of his career on the big screen with 1987's Blind Date! Is it good? Nope! But spirits still remain high!

The last of our banked episodes before we move into new territory! Hear us struggle to talk about Air Strike and mostly fail!

The second last episode we had banked before the tragic Willis news was released. This one was a complete blast though and delivers just about everything we want from Bruce!

In light of the incredibly tragic news about Bruce Willis, we wanted to discuss where the show will be going from here.

We stick with Willis' very recent output as we take a look at the just released action thriller Deadlock. It's reverse Die Hard! Instead of Alan Rickman as the baddie it's Willis himself! And instead of Willis as the hero it's...Patrick Muldoon. Huh.

The director of Cosmic Sin is back with another sci-fi Bruce outing - Apex. Surely this must be better right? Right?! Come join us as we watch a movie that is literally about hunting Willis.

We're going to break it down for you and tell you all about the lock. The special lock. It's time for Reprisal and oh my god you guys this movie! THIS MOVIE!

How can a movie that was filmed in just over a week during the middle of a global pandemic possibly be bad right? Let's see with Out of Death, one of the more recent offerings from Mr. Willis. We'll also find out more about the weird book that came out alongside it!

Bruce Willis shows up to play in Trauma Center, which is mostly Home Alone in a hospital. And with an adult lady instead of a child. And with way more actual murder.

Is a great cast enough to elevate Marauders above the rest of the Willis output? When we say we wish the movie was longer, is that truly a compliment? Find out as we resume the hunt with this 2016 crime...thriller? There's definitely crime but I'm not sure about that second part. Oh and sorry for some wonky audio! We had a bizarre connection that day but hopefully it doesn't hinder your enjoyment!

Here it is. The one you've been waiting for. Even before we started this podcast we were told this is the movie to be scared of. The worst of the worst. As bad as it gets. Does that end up being the case? Be prepared for the biggest Bruce Willis related plot twist since The Sixth Sense!

For this episode we tackle one of the more recent Willis offerings with the "action thriller" Hard Kill, a movie that helpfully reminds us that things can always get worse.
