Summary

GGACP marks the 30th anniversary of Frank Darabont's classic Stephen King adaptation, "The Shawshank Redemption" (released September 23, 1994) by presenting this ENCORE of a 2020 interview with Oscar-winning actor, musician and activist Tim Robbins. In this episode, Tim joins the boys for a lively discussion on a wide range of topics, including the “New Hollywood” of the ’70s, the genius and generosity of Robert Altman and the timeliness of Depression-era screwball comedies. Also, Gore Vidal steals the show, Richard Pryor plays The Gaslight Cafe, Orson Welles runs afoul of William Randolph Hearst and Tim (fondly) remembers Paul Newman, Don Rickles and Robin Williams. PLUS: “Bobbo Supreme”! “Howard the Duck”! Monty Python comes calling! In praise of “The Hudsucker Proxy”! And Tim weighs in on the future of movie theaters! Learn more about your ad choices.
