Extra Buttery Bonus – Episode 4 – The Player (1992)

In the fourth episode of Jason and Robert Watch Old Movies, we take a deep dive into Robert Altman's THE PLAYER. Released in 1992 and nominated at the 65th Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing, Tim Robbins stars as a hot shot movie exec who gets embroiled in a murder-mystery with a bitter screenwriter. We talk about how we stumbled upon this film (3:00), its light skewering of Hollywood (19:40) and our final thoughts (39:01). Theme music: "Downtown" by Podington Bear. [CC BY-NC 3.0]
