Episode 15: Forest Whitaker

from Blockbuster Film School · host Blockbuster Film School

Forrest Whitaker is very sorry about making that Scientology movie. He IS sorry. It’s not his fault, ok? He was drinking a lot back then, and maybe huffing a little bit of paint? Travolta said it was like Star Wars. How was Forrest supposed to know!? HE IS SORRY. But yes, he has made tons of cool movies, won an Oscar for best actor, and been nominated less times than he deserves. Ghost Dog Way of the Samurai is awesome. The Crying Game is cool. The Last King of Scotland is absolutely nuts. But all anybody ever brings up is that goddamn Scientology movie. HE’S SORRY! This message is brought to you by Alex and Nick your overlords at Blockbuster Film School.
