We may not always see eye to eye, but dammit, we’re partners. This week, Noah and Chance take on three examples of Shane Black’s buddy cop(-ish) movies, 1987’s Lethal Weapon, 2005’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and the new Gosling/Crowe team-up, The Nice Guys. Noah is away from New York this week recording from a Summersville, West Virginia radio station with his lifelong pal Alex “Spiel” Wiederspiel.

But first! Chance starts the show in conversation with director, actor and very busy film and TV crew member Josh Stephenson. Stephenson recently had his Shane Black trope-highlighting supercut featured on The AV Club. (Watch it here.) Watch more videos from Josh on his Vimeo channel.
