Known for his work as writer of The Monster Squad, Lethal Weapon, The Last Action Hero and others, and the director of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys and The Predator, Shane Black is a respected and prolific force in Hollywood. Having been involved in some of the most iconic films of the past 35 years, he also has a yarn or two to spin. So it’s especially exciting to learn that he is the guest on the current episode of Josh Olson and Joe Dante‘s The Movies That Made Me podcast.
You can hear the entire episode at the top of the post, and to dive deep into the many (and vastly diverse) films Black talks about on the episode, visit Movies Unlimited’s website for a complete overview of discussed titles. You’ll find it to be fascinating listen with a Hollywood powerhouse who knows the industry inside and out (Black was also an actor whose best known work was the original Predator). Together with Josh Olson and Joe Dante, Shane Black takes some time to unleash his inner fanboy about his loves and influences — the resulting podcast is unforgettable listening for any self-respecting movie lover.
