Earlier this month, the cinephile community lost another tremendous performer. In this episode, Nick & Bella pay tribute to the ever-cool and always hypnotic Michael Madsen.

The duo discusses Madsen’s unique approach to the art and craft of acting and delves into some of his most famous roles, as well as some of his lesser-known performances.

• We start with Quentin Tarantino’s debut feature film, Reservoir Dogs, which features Madsen’s iconic and psychotic dance/torture scene.
• Second, a hidden gem: Trouble Bound, where Michael Madsen plays the romantic lead opposite Patricia Arquette in an endearing crime-rom-com.
• Lastly, we discuss 1995’s wildly successful sci-fi thriller Species.

Let us know what your favorite Michael Madsen performance is!
