The Rewatchables, brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network. You can get this podcast as a video on Spotify. I would highly encourage you to do so. You can also go on the Ringer Movies YouTube channel and see a bunch of old Rewatchables that we've done, including ones with Kyle Brandt, who's here today. Val Kilmer passed away. We're going to talk about one of our favorite Val Kilmer movies.
Not a movie you probably expected, The Saint. It's next.
For an American scientist caught in a world of espionage, there is no escape. Brings her to life. And now, the man who was hired to betray her. My name is Thomas Moore. The August Christopher Martini Boris. Is the only one who can save her. If you want to live, you can leave my side. Val Kilmer. Elizabeth Shue. I love! The Saint. Starts Friday, April 4th, everywhere.
All right, Kyle Brandt, you're basically, you were kind of semi-off this week. Kids were off from school. Wasn't really a rewatchables taping week for you, but you had to move stuff around because Val Kilmer passed away this week. People, I don't think it was a massive surprise because he'd been sick for a long time, yet it was a total surprise because Val Kilmer is no longer with us.
And we were texting. We had talked about doing The Saint forever, which I don't think would crack... Most people's top five Val Kilmer list, but for us, it does. And we'll get to that in a second. But Val Kilmer, big picture, 20,000 feet overhead. What are your thoughts?
Yeah, I've been really moved by this, more so than I even expected to be over the last 48 hours. I've been upset. I've been on our show, Good Morning Football, talking about it as much as the NFL will allow me to just talk about an actor and not Cam Ward or Shadur Sanders. And I think I'm a little surprised how upsetting it was because... This is not Tom Cruise or Harrison Ford or Tom Hanks.
It's not one of these like all time leading man legends. It's just someone who has shown up for in our life for years and years and was always cool. And I'm looking at him, Bill. It's like we lost the coolest character actor of all time. And that I think really was what he was. And that's really his legacy.
