The Rad Revival House pays tribute to the late great Gene Hackman and his most underrated performances.

Returning to our show is noted film critic Jeanne Marie Denizard of “The Sleepless Critic”, as she and our host, Professor Cesare Augusto, take turns in exploring Hackman’s greatest and yet, woefully underseen roles, at least underseen by the mainstream masses. Together, they look at Hackman’s performances in HEARTBREAKERS, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, PRIME CUT, NIGHT MOVES, and GET SHORTY. They take turns in exploring Hackman’s gritty tough-guy roles, his hilarious comedic bits (Hackman himself did not have much faith in his funny man skills, which we wholeheartedly disagree with), and his honed, razor-sharp skills as an actor overall.

The RRH gives its sincerest condolences to Hackman and his family at this difficult time. We, as devoted cinephiles, also hope that Hackman’s legacy as an actor will forever inspire further generations of actors and filmmakers to come. He will be sorely missed!
