Val Forever: A Tribute from the Garage

Kilmer performances (Tombstone, Heat, Real Genius, and even Top Secret!).The strange power of his presence—cool, chaotic, intense, and hilarious… often in the same scene.The 2021 documentary “Val” (Jeff saw it, Adam hasn’t, Steve meant to).Jeff’s personal Kilmer Power Rankings (they start normal and then turn into a debate).That thing Val had that almost no one else does anymore.There are still laughs. There are still quotes. But this one’s for Val.Thank you for all the kind messages on our Escape from L.A. and Captain Ron episodes—we’ll be back to regularly scheduled nonsense next week. And yes, Monday’s episode on The Firm is still coming.Recorded in Jeff’s garage. Steve joins via Zoom. The VHS is rewinding slowly today.
