MacGruber (2010) Val Kilmer, Nuclear Mayhem & Raunchy Comedy Gold
“Macgrubie don’t play like homie, and homie don’t play like that.”

We’ve reached the explosive finale of “May They Rest in Peace” Month , and we’re paying tribute to a true Hollywood icon — Val Kilmer — by revisiting one of his most underrated and outrageous roles.

This week, Henrique and David head to New Mexico for a deep dive into the chaotic, raunchy, and wildly misunderstood cult comedy: 2010’s “MacGruber”! A former special operative is pulled back into action to stop his arch-nemesis, Dieter Von Cunth , from launching a nuclear warhead at Washington, D.C. It flopped in theaters, spawned a hit TV revival a decade later, and features Val Kilmer at his villainous best.

🎬 Directed by Jorma Taccone and starring Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Val Kilmer , and Powers Boothe .

  • Was this film too raunchy and wild for audiences in 2010?
  • Is there any low that MacGruber won’t sink to?
  • Did we miss out on Val Kilmer as a Bond villain?
