We continue our series going through the entire catalog of A24's films. On this episode Dakota and Matthew are looking at 2021's Val directed by Leo Scott and Ting Poo. The film is a documentary using actor Val Kilmer's extensive home video collection to cover his life and career up to his diagnoses with throat cancer that left him without a voice. Kilmer sadly passed away on April 1st, 2025 so we decided to jump forward to cover this film.
Both Matthew Simpson and Jeff Bulmer are officially joining the podcast as permanent rotating co-hosts!
Our double bill pairings include Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Dakota's pick) and Top Secret! (Matthew's pick). See our complete A24 Double Bill Pairings on Letterboxd.
