Speaker 1 (00:01):
Got anything good. Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Very sad news happened yesterday about a great actor, Val Kilma.
So many great performances, so many iconic movies. If you
grew up in the eighties, he owned Maverick in Top

(00:22):
Gun with the ludicrous scenes between Maverick and Iceman. Is
your problem, Kazanski, You're everyone's problem. It's because every time
you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't
like you because you're dangerous. That's right, nice man, I
am dangerous. We look back now, it's so camp. The
scene between them, there's a strange bit where Val Kilma,

(00:44):
I don't know whether there was in voice, does something
with his teeth where if he just still goes it's
it chomped in the face of Tom Cruise, and I
wanted to know where did that come from? That vow
just adding his own essence to it. But then later
on the movie they come together, you are still dangerous.
You can be my wingman anytime. Still gives me all

(01:06):
the films though, you can be mine. And then when
Tom Gun Too came out, it was Tom Cruise assistant
that he wanted to have Val Kilna in the movie.
And the sad thing about Van is he lost his voice,
his ability to speak with his battles with throat cancer.

(01:26):
But by using AI, this big AI company who helped
people have lost their voices worked with Val for years
to try and recreate his voice, and so it helped
them have really beautiful scene. I think this will be
the last scene that Val Kilna ever did before passing
away with him and Tom cruise again, which is somehow
quite moving because there's a line I think at the

(01:48):
beginning of the scene where he points at the computer
and says, it's time to let go the neat Maverick,
the kid neat Everick. That's why I fought for you,
That's why you're still here. Thank you Wos for everything

(02:14):
and that this is great. But at the end, one
last thing, who's the better violin you and me? There's
a nice smile. It's not. What's your favorite found performance, Patty?
Mine has to be Tombstone where he played Doc Holiday.
That is such a great Western movie. This questions, but

(02:34):
I loved it just yeah. Kurt Russell and Sam Elliott
and Billy Bob Thornton absolutely adored it. Underrated Western The
shootout with Doc Holliday a and as well where he
goes a Johnny Ringer somebody your grad, that's right, and
he does something with this. This is the scene. Who

(02:56):
did it better? Well? Wow, I didn't think you heard it.
Indn't you? I'm your Huckleberro. Why Johnny Ringo, you looked
like somebody just walked over your grave. Honestly, if you
want to see a movie this weekend, please watch Tombstone.
It's a great performance and fouls. The Christian O'Connell Show
