GBW #72: Living in the Pictures (Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid / Hercules Returns / Kung Pow: Enter the Fist)

<p>Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!</p> <p>This week, as a palette cleanser to our horror-heavy October, Ryan and Chris dive into the very niche category of films that involves actors interacting with footage from older films, dubbing the footage, or both. We start with Carl Reiner's 1982 film noir spoof "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid," which sees Steve Martin assume the role of a gumshoe detective who interacts with Humphrey Bogart, Ray Milland, Bette Davis, and more from archival footage. The result is well-crafted and often very funny. Then, we move into 1993's "Hercules Returns," an Australian film in which an Italian version of Hercules is dubbed for most of the movie. A movie in which your mileage may vary on the comedy. Finally, we move into a Ryan and Chris favorite (and seemingly a favorite of many as time has been kind to the film), 2002's "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist."<br> <br> You can find this and future episodes on our website&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thegoodbadwhat.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thegoodbadwhat.com</a>.
