Val Kilmer: The Doors, The Batsuit, and the Bucket List

In this unexpectedly heartfelt and chaotically hilarious episode, Jim Phoenix welcomes longtime friend and globetrotting co-host Amelie to talk all things Val Kilmer. From Willow to Batman Forever, The Doors, and the haunting brilliance of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, they explore Kilmer’s transformation from underrated icon to personal inspiration. Along the way, they tackle bidets, jungle toilets, French TV, karaoke with Val himself, and what it means to live one day at a time. This isn’t just a tribute to a chameleon actor—it’s a reminder of why we love movies, and why we hold onto the people who love them too.
