Also I don't know much about Lynch what is his Blank Check movie?
I'd probably say Inland Empire, 'cause the move to video really freed him from how much of a time sink shooting on film is and gave him all the time he wanted to gently caress around shooting on the fly.

I’m guessing they will probably talk about it during the Inland Empire episode

Yeah don't think Basic works that well. Feels like it needed a different cast and some lighter direction. Some of the music/camera was so dramatic with some of the silly twists like the race one.

This shit's about to go off.
They are correct that Ribisi’s performance is just awful. The idea of swapping Jackson and Travolta is kinda fun but I don’t think it fixes the movie. I think the twists are just kinda dumb and the Rashomon conceit is pretty half assed.

One thing I feel like these Rashomon attempts forget is how wildly different each story was and how they changed with perceptions of class and gender. Like one has elite samurai while the other version has the sword fights shaking in fear as they approach each other.

Basic just has the same story 3 times with a few changes to who shot who. Not as fun.

I like when Luke Wilson had buck teeth.

I've never seen Rashomon only the X-Fikes episode.

You should feel ashamed.
I did enjoy the discussion of Travolta's post Pulp Fiction career. Probably the first time I've heard anyone talk about White Man's Burden since it came out and I bought the soundtrack for some reason.

Don't agree with Ben David's take that there's only been like two films better directed than Last Action Hero in the last 10 years, but it's a spicy take.
