Podcast: Ace in the Hole / Nobody – Extra Film

This week on Extra Film, Ryan and Jay continue their Billy Wilder Movie Series with his Ace in the Hole, and they also discuss the action film Nobody.

After talking about Sunset Boulevard, the boys return with the darkest, most cynical film in Billy Wilder’s filmography. In Ace in the Hole, we follow the dangers of journalism and how far people will go to stretch the truth. With an all time performance from Kirk Douglas, Wilder takes aim at his former profession and how people in this country treat the news. It’s a movie that is a relevant today as when it was released, making it a perfect film for the guys to cover.

In the back half of the episode, the boys talk about the action thriller, Nobody. In an attempt to capitalize on the John Wick franchise, Nobody is from the writer of that series but with a little bit of a twist in this world, and Bob Odenkirk in the lead role. With a couple of great cameos and set pieces, Nobody is a fun time, though a step down from the Wick series.

Thanks for listening!
