Aspect Radio #105: Robin Williams tribute
Manage episode 50019418 series 52343
Upon hearing the tragic news of the great Robin Williams’ untimely death, Ben and Corey reflect on the man’s career, on which each of them grew up.
The four-time Oscar-nominee and best supporting actor-winner for “Good Will Hunting” brought an unparalleled energy to the big screen and pioneered aspects of comedic performance in films like “Aladdin,” “Mrs. Doubtfire” and “Good Morning, Vietnam.”
But we also found out he had a tremendous talent for drama in a handful of harrowing performances in “Dead Poets Society,” “Awakenings” and “The Fisher King.”
A consummate entertainer who lit up nearly everything he touched, Williams will be missed by all who saw or will see his work in film.
Ben and Corey share their three favorite Williams performances. Joining them to celebrate his career are FilmNerds.com’s Graham Flanagan, Matt Scalici, Ben Stark and Craig Hamilton.
