Welcome, dear Listeners! It's another episode of Hero or Dick! This time around we take a scenic detour through Val Kilmer’s wild ride in Hollywood.

Between updates on Kate’s latest travels and plenty of banter, we dig into Kilmer’s incredible dedication to his craft — from filling his bed with ice to capture Doc Holliday’s suffering to disappearing so deep into Jim Morrison that it took a toll on his real life.

We keep it light while exploring the highs, lows, and unexpected twists of Kilmer’s story, proving that sometimes the real life is even bigger than the movies.
