We continue our series going through the entire catalog of A24’s films. On this episode Dakota and Matthew are looking at 2021’s Val directed by Leo Scott and Ting Poo. The film is a documentary using actor Val Kilmer’s extensive home video collection to cover his life and career up to his diagnoses with throat cancer that left him without a voice. Kilmer sadly passed away on April 1st, 2025 so we decided to jump forward to cover this film.
Additionally, I’ve accepted an offer to be a regular rotating co-host of Contra Zoom! I’ve been a guest numerous times before, but now I’ll be the cohost on an approximately monthly basis. Dakota has some great stuff lined up so be sure to subscribe to the show on your platform of choice!
