Good luck everybody, but right now it's time for this
producing your moves, Hot Goss if lived, come stay on
top in the high woot shovel iceman out. Val Kilmer
(01:26):
dead at the age of sixty five. Cause of death pneumonia.
Now he had throat cancer diagnosed with that back in
late twenty fourteen, kind of overcame it. It definitely affected
his speech quite a bit, and his uh, his daughter
has confirmed that it was pneumonia that took him out.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I saw I was reading a New York Times article
about him last night and I saw a picture of
him from twenty fourteen, and I had not seen him
in a really long time. I was trying to remember.
Wasn't he in Entourage for a couple episodes? Kind of
had gotten big or something. The picture I saw of
him in the New York Times from twenty fourteen, I
(02:10):
thought he looked really good. And I knew that he
had been I mean, that's a decade ago, and I
knew that he had been deteriorating and had not really
been out there much. But I never saw top Gun Maverick.
Wasn't he in that. Yeah, he was in top gun Maverick,
but he couldn't speak, so his son did I think
they he faced you know, he lip synced his son
(02:33):
at his voice. He did, he veeled it was. Was
he in it for very long?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Ben? No?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I mean he had a He's an important part of
it because he's the one who was kind of like
Maverick's guardian angel, helping him stay and employed and get gigs.
And he had elevated to be the big, big boss
and so but he I mean there was times where
Maverick would like talk to him. They would text each other, okay,
and so he didn't have to talk, right, which is
pretty cool because so many people really do text. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(03:01):
And I mean it's a part of that story.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
One of the things I was thinking about too with
Val Kilmer, probably his heyday is the nineties.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah. I mean he was a batman.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
He was a batman, he was in heat, he was
doc hology, so all that stuff I believe was in
the nineties. And one of the things that I realized
about my perception of Val Kilmer is that when he
was in his heyday, I was not checking out a
lot of Studio movies in the nineties, and so I
(03:34):
don't know that I had held him in the regard
that I probably should have, Like I really dug heat.
I thought that was cool and he had a good
role in that, but you know, that was really all
about de Niro and Pacino in a lot of ways.
And I know that he's a big deal. But like
the movies of the eighties, and I liked that he
was in or kind of you know, it's top gut
(03:55):
and it's real genius.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Like the five eighties movies.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
He was in Top Secret. Top Z was his debut
and I loved that movie as a kid. Awesome in
the top Gun, Real genius. Two more, Uh oh, what
year did The Doors come out?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That was ninety one?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Okay, which, by the way, he's a great Jim Morrison,
But man, does that movie suck.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
The Doors is not a good movie. I think I've
just like seen clips of it. I don't think I've
seen He's.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
A great Jim Morrison, but the movie is it's basically
always saying it all it's Oliver Stone's fantasy.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It's not good. He put out a record No. Seven,
did he Kilmer did?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah? Top Secret in real genius. Yeah, in Top Gun?
What are we missing? In Top Gun?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Was he in? Uh? One word? Nineteen eighty eight one word?
You could describe it as like a tree or one
of will Smith's kids.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Willa Willo. I don't think I saw Willow. And is
that a sci fi thing? Like a fantasy sci fi thing?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Oh? Do you remember will O? Ben No? I thought
that that was like a Jim Henson sci fi fantasy thing.
Nineteen eighty nine. Yeah, willoppears to be an American high
fantasy adventure adventure film advancure film. They had muppets and
crap in nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Three three words uh huhn nopeh stab stab your not

over repeatedly kill me forever killing me softly with his
words kill bill, kill kill the clasp killin ma get
(05:47):
clapped to this.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That is that the movie I've never heard of? That
you heard of? That? Kill me again? A good movie?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Man?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, dude, Real Genius and Top Secret were like in
you know, for us those years where you're developing your
sense of humor, and that was right in that immature
wheelhouse that they were awesome. Obviously, he was great as
iceman in Top Gun, and you mentioned Tombstone. He was
great in that, amazing in Heat. There's two other movies
(06:16):
he was in that aren't as acclaimed, but he was
really good in them. One of them I really love,
and that's Thunderheart. Did you guys ever see Underheart? I
don't think I saw that. Thunderheart, Oh, I know what
that is. Thunderheart is he is a He is like
a detective and they're trying to solve a murder, but
it's on Indian territory. Yeah, and then he is taken
(06:36):
back to I think his roots and they realized that
he actually has some Indian blood and so he's having
this really cool experience while he's going through all that.
I thought it was really good. And the other one
was The Saint, which I've seen a million times on cable.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
That's where he dances under the lasers.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I think Elizabeth's shoe is in that, yes, and she
is a he can take on all these different roles
and she's like a scientist to his figure out some
incredible thing to save the world or something. But yeah,
it's both.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Those are pretty good. All of them are pretty good. Okay,
so that obviously Tombstone's what's his biggest role ever? Like
you should the one say it? Top Gun?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I mean, I think so. It's the biggest movie he
was ever in, But it wasn't the biggest role. Yeah,
I means is the biggest role he ever had? I
think I think I think probably too. There was so
much height about heat. I mean, that was a very
it was a Michael Man movie. It was the first
time de Niro and Pacino had been like they were
both in Godfather too, but they were never in a
(07:36):
scene together, right, So there was just so much hype.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
But I think probably.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
And it's not for me because I never saw it,
But I think, isn't he most known for Tombstone?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Maybe I would say Batman?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
For people our age.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Age, It was definitely That's the first thing I thought of,
was Batman.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Jim carry back, Ai says Val Kilmer is best known
for his roles in iconic films like Top Gun, Tombstone,
and The Door. Okay, I actually just kind of a
hammer home. My point about when his heyday.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Was, I've never seen that Batman movie. No, you shouldn't.
You wouldn't like it. It's got John Carry Jones and
Jim Carrey was the Riddler. Yeah, now, Tommy A. Jones.
They even got the paint wrong. They made it two face.
He's purple on half side. No I care, it's always blue.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I can't remember if we talked about this off air
on air, but I saw a clip last week or
two weeks ago of Jim Carrey talking about seeing Tommy
Lee Jones right before they acted together in that Batman movie.
He saw him out at a restaurant and he went
up to him to start a conversation, and Tommy Lee
Jones told him that he hated him.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, a lot of people did not like Val Kilmer. No, no, no,
Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey. He's like, I don't like I
don't like your kind. You're not funny. I do not
want to be near you. Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And he knew he was about to be in a movie.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yes, dude, tell me sucks. We can all agree with that, right.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
As what as a human, I don't know anything about
him as a human.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I think he's a great actor though he didn't even
care that Harrison Ford didn't kill his wife.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
That's okay, that's fair that you're okay, you know what,
that's the first good point you made six months. I
gotta think of him as like a really good James Garner.
He was great in No Country for Old Men, which
was a great film. Javier Bardam is a beast. He's
incredible in that, and I think he's incredible in The Fugitive.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Pretty Costner turns into Tommy Lee Jones.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
What do you mean it's already already had the court. No,
I don't know. It's just he didn't have a lot
of room left. He's how old is he?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
They're very hat filled McCoy, Oh, that's the show they did. Uh,
going and read a couple of things. I'm not tearing
a guy down, but this is Kilmer. This is I
would say this is a compliment the his co star
in Tombstone, Michael Bain. You know Michael Bain. I'm Michael
Bain's Michael gane or Bane from Batman.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
People ask me what it's like to work with Val Kilmer.
I don't know. I never met him, never shook his hand.
I know Doc Holliday, but I don't know Val Kilmer
cool method. Okay. Richard Stanley, who directed Kilmer for three
days in the Island of Doctor Moreau, oh, said vow
would arrive in an argument. What happened. I don't like
(10:05):
Val Kilmer, I don't like his work ethic, and I
don't want to be associated with him ever again. Damn
Batman Forever. Director Joel Schumacher called Kilmer childish and impossible. Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Now keep in mind when he worked with Schumacher and
by the way, Schumacher's no trip through the none of
these people are but Kilmer was also younger.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah you know, yeah, okay. Mira Sorvino did say this
in the movie First Sight Boy. You so I like
the way she did her thing. She was asked about
his reputation as being difficult to work with, and she said,
you know what, he was real easy to work with.
I hate furthering rumors about people being difficult because it
can do such damage through their careers, to which iall went,
(10:45):
who said something mad about her? My experience with him
was nothing but positive.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's a split. There was a so.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
One of the guys who used to be considered difficult
to work with, and his peer of his age wise
is Robert and they were in a movie together and
I saw Robert Downey Junior say when I first I'm paraphrasing,
but when I first met him, I hated him. I
couldn't stand him. And after the end of the process
we became really good friends and stayed in touch. Man,
(11:15):
I just think sixty five. Sixty five, that is young man. Yeah,
that's way too young to go.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Pneumonia too, So have you got pneumonia or something? Go
get it checked out. Don't risk that, especially if you're older.
So rip, We'll tip our hats to the great Val Kilmer.
I'd like to hear some very disgusting audio that has
future drops in it. Yes, Maury Povich is eighty six.
Nice and he started a podcast with Connie Chung, who's
(11:41):
seventy eight. Are they still married? They are still married, okay,
all right? And they have sex on Sundays. Dope, I
feel sexiest when you or me you.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I feel sexiest on Sundays.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Never on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Yeah, not our Oh it's always been. Everybody says, can
we play golf on Sunday? No, Sundays with Connie.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I'm not all right, can I before I say what?
Before I say what? I want to say about that?
Is that an iHeart product? Because we are the podcast leader.
It's Connie Chung and who Mario Mary Povich her husband.
They've been married for a long time.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
So she's at the end when you hear making noises,
she's putting the key up to her lip like I'm
not saying anymore. I'm not telling everyone. I'm not elaborating
on you rolling around on me on Sundays.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Oh I would thought she was saying she wasn't incorporating
that action.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh no, I don't think so. Well, maybe that's interesting.
That's now old and creepy, he sounds.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I just I need to know if it's an iHeart
podcast before everything's on iHeart.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Okay, our competitors you can find on the iHeart Act.
We haven't.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I feel like I feel like everyone will love that
podcast product.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So I want you to now work with me here because
there's a couple of drops here. She is again not
wanting to respond that his golf golfing buddies wanted to
come out on Sunday. Uh huh Sundays are for Connie.
All Right, she's gonna strap you know, so like she's
does not want to comment, but listen to the grunt
at the end by him.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Everybody says, can we play golf on Sunday? No Sundays
with Connie?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I'm not all right, you say a lot. I'm not like,
I'm not talking.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I would love to see the statistics on people over
the age of seventy five that listen to podcasts.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I would love to see that too. And also I
just think he watches a lot of NFL Red Zone
laying down with his head off the end of the back. Okay,
she's not watching it. She's facing the head Ford. Do
you think he's okay? Saying reverse cal County? Are you?
(14:03):
Are you doing the Gemstones man? John Goodman too respected
to be doing.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
All Right, There you have it. There's the Hollywood shuffle.
Rest in peace. Val Kilmer coming up next, Let's go
around the sports. The Rangers win back to back one
zero wins. We'll talk about the historical relevance of that next.
Right here on the Eagle
