Episode 44: A Simple Plan
Manage episode 371476683 series 2813904
This week on Remainders, we talk the 1999 crime thriller A Simple Plan. Directed by Sam Raimi, mostly without his signature chaotic style, Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton play brothers who discover a duffel bag of money and decide to keep it. Almost immediately, this apparent blessing turns into a curse as greed, violence, past trauma, and death all arise as a result. Paxton and Thornton reunite after One False Move and once again prove they are both timeless character actors.
Other topics include the screenwriters and actors strike, Margot Robbie, the Boogie Nights soundtrack, new music picks, ranking the Mission: Impossible movies, and Tom Cruise as the last movie star.
