We honor the late, great Val Kilmer this week as we, along with special guest Steve Coates of the @bucketofchumpodcast , dive into his turn as railroad engineer and hunter of the legendary Man-Eaters of Tsavo, John Henry Patterson, in 1996's THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS. Plagued by production woes, it was surprising this film even got made at all. We dive into the legend of the infamous lions, the massive effect Michael Douglas had on the production, and how this may be an underrated performance by Kilmer himself. Watch your backs and stay away from the long grass, because they're watching you, this week on the Dissect That Film Podcast #201.
