Happy Black Friday, friends! We hope your Thanksgivings have been full of family, friends and delicious eatings. With Turkey Day behind us, the holiday season is officially underway!

This year we’re kicking things off with what we hope will be a new annual tradition: It’s Shane Black Friday! Director Shane Black cannot resist the urge to set all of his movies around the holidays, such as this week’s film, the 2005 detective farce Kiss Kiss Bang Bang! Can Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer solve a Hollywood murder without killing each other first? How well has this film aged since its Bush-era heydey? The answer to these questions and more on this week’s episode!
