On this week’s episode, Nick and Bella return as your favorite unlikely duo. Which is apt, as we dive into the work of one of the most impactful screenwriters of the last forty years, Shane Black.

Over the decades, Shane Black’s action screenplays have thrilled audiences. And in most of his pictures, he loves injecting a bit of the holiday season. Thus, A Very Black Christmas.

• We start with a game-changing classic. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover star in Lethal Weapon.
• Second, we explore an underappreciated gem. Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson throw jokes and bullets in The Long Kiss Goodnight.
• Finally, Shane Black makes his directorial debut in the film that helped revive Robert Downey, Jr.’s career in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Sonja’s Movie Minute this week explores the directorial debut of Kristen Stewart, The Chronology of Water.
