Taylor & Nick kick off a marathon of Val Kilmer movies, beginning with Top Secret! (1984). In his big screen debut, Kilmer plays a rock n’ roller caught up in a wild espionage plot from the directing team behind Airplane! and the Naked Gun.

After lording over Chicago’s criminal underworld, Al Capone (Tom Hardy) spends the last year of his life chewing on carrots, shooting alligators, and battling incontinence as neurosyphilis ravages his brain… at least that’s according to Josh Trank’s wonderfully wonderfully bonkers biopic Capone (2020).

Despite the death of his leading man, director Blake Edwards forged ahead with yet ANOTHER attempt at resuscitating the Pink Panther series. This time, Edwards decided to replace both the late Peter Sellers and Inspector Clouseau with a new bumbling detective, New York investigator Clifton Sleigh (Ted Wass). The result: Curse of the Pink Panther (1983).

The James Bond franchise has endured for over 60 years. But it nearly ended with Pierce Brosnan’s final outing as 007: Die Another Day (2002). After Bond escapes from a North Korean prison, he searches for the traitor in MI6 who betrayed him. Ice fortresses, satellite lasers, and Madonna cameos abound in this wonderfully wretched Bond installment.

For the final movie in their Martin Campbell marathon, Taylor & Nick return to a simpler time in superhero movies. A time when heroes wore costumes made of bad CGI. A time when Michael Clarke Duncan voiced an angry space pig. A time when Blake Lively’s biggest controversy was bad acting. The time was 2011 and the movie was Green Lantern.

The Mask of Zorro (1998) remains one of the greatest action adventure movies ever made. Its sequel, The Legend of Zorro (2005), remains one of the worst. Martin Campbell, Antonio Banderas, and Catherine Zeta-Jones are all back for another go, but the spirit of adventure, deeply personal stakes, and dynamic chemistry are all gone. If you thought the original film lacked enough marital discourse and divorce proceedings then perhaps The Legend of Zorro is for you!

You probably don’t know director Martin Campbell’s name. But you’ve definitely seen some of his great films like GoldenEye, The Mask of Zorro, and Casino Royale. Over the next three weeks, Nick & Taylor undertake a marathon of Campbell’s lesser known (and lesser loved) movies. They begin with Vertical Limit (2000). After a group of climbers (including Bill Paxton) become trapped in a crevasse on K2, Chris O’Donnell (Robin from Batman & Robin), packs up his nitroglycerin and sets off to rescue them.
