Update: 2025-05-27

Description

“Macgrubie don’t play like homie, and homie don’t play like that.”

We’ve reached the explosive finale of “May They Rest in Peace” Month, and we’re paying tribute to a true Hollywood icon — Val Kilmer — by revisiting one of his most underrated and outrageous roles.

This week, Henrique and David head to New Mexico for a deep dive into the chaotic, raunchy, and wildly misunderstood cult comedy: 2010’s “MacGruber”! A former special operative is pulled back into action to stop his arch-nemesis, Dieter Von Cunth, from launching a nuclear warhead at Washington, D.C. It flopped in theaters, spawned a hit TV revival a decade later, and features Val Kilmer at his villainous best.

🎬 Directed by Jorma Taccone and starring Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Val Kilmer, and Powers Boothe.
