Episode 44: A Simple Plan

This week on Remainders, we talk the 1999 crime thriller A Simple
Plan. Directed by Sam Raimi, mostly without his signature chaotic
style, Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton play brothers who
discover a duffel bag of money and decide to keep it. Almost
immediately, this apparent blessing turns into a curse as greed,
violence, past trauma, and death all arise as a result. Paxton
and Thornton reunite after One False Move and once again prove
they are both timeless character actors.


Other topics include the screenwriters and actors strike, Margot
Robbie, the Boogie Nights soundtrack, new music picks, ranking
the Mission: Impossible movies, and Tom Cruise as the last movie
star.
