Summary

RIP Michael Madsen. He was a great guest over the years. In this explosive full episode of Opie’s old Radio Show, Hollywood legend Michael Madsen joins comedians Jim Norton, Mark Normand, Adam Pally, and Cheech Marin for a no-holds-barred conversation. Madsen dives deep into his Chicago upbringing, from running a car chop shop in his mom’s garage and breaking into a liquor store with Chris Penn to sliding down a fire pole with his firefighter dad. He shares raw, hilarious stories from his iconic roles in Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, The Hateful Eight, and Kill Bill, plus surreal run-ins with Marlon Brando, Michael Jackson, and a wild Lawrence Tierney. Packed with gritty humor, heartfelt family reflections, and unfiltered Hollywood truths, this episode is a rollercoaster of epic anecdotes.
