Michael PhillipsHOST
Mm.
Rachel WaltherGUEST
I mean, right there it stars Pam Grier and Robert Forster, two big stars in the '70s that had their heyday then.
Michael PhillipsHOST
Hmm.
Rachel WaltherGUEST
And I think one of the gifts that Tarantino's given us is he's brought back some of those classic actors.
MattHOST
And
JamieHOST
Robert Forster.
JamieHOST
And then Scott Bio and Corey Feldman were cast as themselves.
JamieHOST
Mandy Moore was cast as Jenny Taylor.
JamieHOST
just
CassandraHOST
walked he probably had a scene that was cut
JamieHOST
yeah he was bad james bell and robert forster cory feldman omar epps he heather langenkamp and john c mcginley were all written out from their new version of the script and could not reprise their roles how bad do you have to be to be cut
MattHOST
from this version i know
Brandon MorganHOST
The movie was called, with admirable restraint, Alligator.
Brandon MorganHOST
Directed by Louis Teague, written by John Sayles, and starring Robert Forster, the 1980 film took one of America's great urban legends and completed its transformation into a monster movie.
Brandon MorganHOST
Now, what interests me isn't that Hollywood eventually discovered the sewer alligator, because of course it did.
Brandon MorganHOST
What interests me is that by 1980, the filmmakers barely needed to explain the premise Audiences already understood the basic mythology.
Kirk MinihaneHOST
I think Clint could have played Max Cherry, um, by the way.
Kirk MinihaneHOST
I think Clint could have played, uh, the Robert Forster role and Jackie Brown.
Kirk MinihaneHOST
So could have Hackman and Newman, which, um, Tarantino writes about.
Kirk MinihaneHOST
I could definitely see Clint playing that role.
Kirk MinihaneHOST
But Robert Forster was the right choice, and man, was he good in that movie.
Kirk MinihaneHOST
So anyway, here's, uh... [sniffs] I mean, I could read this whole thing.
Kirk MinihaneHOST
It's incredible.
ElizaGUEST
Who played Max Cherry?
Gordon McNultyHOST
Oh, Robert Forster, Jackie Brown is Max Cherry.
ElizaGUEST
Who played Curly Washburn?
Gordon McNultyHOST
Palance, Jack Palance in City Slickers.

ElizaGUEST
yeah it's like he it is he has of course helped by like the writing and whatever but it's like so much of it is just van heflin himself and it's just like if you give enough if you let an actor do enough they can truly just steal this movie and i'm so glad that they let van heflin do what he did yeah
Gordon McNultyHOST
no that that is a very justifiable number one My number one, a performance I love, a movie I love, a character I love, a love that I love, a romance in this movie that I love.
Gordon McNultyHOST
Robert Forster as Max Cherry in Jackie Brown.
Gordon McNultyHOST
I just I get I get emotional thinking about Max Cherry as like a person, as like a real guy.
KyleHOST
Dan has joined us previously for Chris O'Dowd, Tim Roth, Willem Dafoe, David Spade.
KyleHOST
Maggie Smith, William Atherton, Goldie Hawn, and Robert Forster.
KyleHOST
And today he becomes the first nine-time guest Munson, and I will say that is about as random of a smattering of good and fucking terrible actors that one guest could possibly join for.
KyleHOST
You have that going for you.
JasonGUEST
Yeah.
Aaron BynumHOST
Uh, this is starring Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Bridget Fonda, Robert Forster, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, Chris Tucker.
Aaron BynumHOST
Um, that's, I think, like, the big ones there.
Aaron BynumHOST
Um, but that's also, like, certainly not a few people.
Aaron BynumHOST
Um, I think it's really fun to see Michael Keaton in this role, but honestly, like, the standout performance in this movie for me is Max Forster.
Aaron BynumHOST
I really like as Max Cherry.
Aaron BynumHOST
Uh, sorry, Robert Forster as Max Cherry.
Aaron BynumHOST
Um, and I also think this is a really fun De Niro performance because it is just, like, nothing.
Brett ColemanADVERTISER
Who does he look like? Rex-
Jack O'BrienHOST
He looks like that guy, um, he looks like Robert Forster, like a young Robert Forster.
Brett ColemanADVERTISER
Robert Forster.
Jack O'BrienHOST
You know Robert For- just Google it.
Jack O'BrienHOST
You'll see his face.
Matthew ChernovGUEST
I'm a big Charles Bronson death wish guy.
Matthew ChernovGUEST
Give me a revenge story, whether it's Jodie Foster in The Brave One or that movie Vigilante with Robert Forster.
Matthew ChernovGUEST
If it's about revenge, I, I'm there.
RyanHOST
Kill Bill.
JeffHOST
But two things I will say.
JeffHOST
Number one, something I found out this week that was kind of interesting, Tarantino actually considered Gene Hackman for the role of Max Cherry that Robert Forster played in Jackie Brown.
JeffHOST
So that would have been kind of funny if he would have been in both.
JeffHOST
And just to your Delroy Lindo point, one of the hardest things for me to watch in terms of the Academy Awards was seeing Delroy Lindo lose last year for centers.
11 MINS LATER
SteveHOST
Um, but yeah, that's all I got on that one.
NateHOST
You have your final point.
JeffHOST
My final, my final point is, um, Pam Greer and Robert Forster both give just absolutely phenomenal performances, and the chemistry between the two of them, all of those things, both their individual performances and the chemistry between the two, beats out the still admittedly very good performances of Travolta and Rene Russo and the chemistry that they had.
JeffHOST
So, you know, the movies are driven by this, the sort of crime plot that happens, but the heart and soul of the movies for both of them are the characters and the relationships between the characters.
