KILL ME MOVIE REVIEW
Jimmy (Charlie Day) wakes up in his bathtub, filled with his own blood from his slashed wrists. He manages to call a 911 dispatcher named Margot (Allison Williams) who sends in paramedics to save his life. His family (Aya Cash and Jessica Harper) gather around him in his hospital room; this isn’t their first time dealing with a Jimmy suicide attempt. Only, he is stubbornly insisting that he did not do it and that someone tried to kill him and make it look like a suicide. So begins the tragicomedy of Kill Me, as Jimmy has no one who believes him, including his therapist Dr. Singer (Giancarlo Esposito). After no small amount of difficulty he manages to connect with Margot asking for details of the call and what he actually said in the hope of finding clues. She is very uncomfortable with the situation but ends up teaming up with him to follow a steadily increasing trail of breadcrumbs that might actually point at a serial killer. Chris, Wright, and Martin Thomas celebrate a significant acting turn by Charlie Day and discuss the details of Kill Me.
DIRECTED BY: Peter Warren
STARRING: Charlie Day, Alliston Williams, Giancarlo Esposito, Aya Cash, Jessica Harper, David Krumholtz, Tony Cavalero
YOUR REVIEWERS
Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Deliberations of Doom)
Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar and theater management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others).
Wright Sulek (The Other Boss, Trash in the Can, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, One Man’s Trash, Screener Squad)
Wright hails from the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. His passion for filmmaking brought him to Austin to study and make movies. Since then he’s had his hand in acting, writing, and directing his own short films with numerous like-minded film geeks he’s met along his journey. His newest interest has brought him into the podcasting world. He co-hosted a few different movie related podcasts such as ‘And Now This’ and ‘The Match Cut’. He currently co-hosts with longtime friend, Eric Samaniego, where they talk shop about the grimiest, trashiest, lost gems of movies on their show, ‘Trash in the Can’. Wright also guests and hosts reviews on Screener Squad and Highly Suspect Reviews as well as co-hosts Digital Noise with Chris Cox. As of 2024, Wright has now been inducted into the Austin Film Critics Association as well as co-owns the One of Us network with Chris Cox.
Martin Thomas (Highly Suspect Reviews, The Original Gentlemen)
In addition to having been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king…Martin Thomas has also been a professional comic book artist (Marvel, DC, First Comics, etc.), a TV personality (The Reel Deal), and a cartoon character (“Leon” from Spill.com). Currently, he can be found podcasting up a storm at DoubleToasted.com when he’s not one of “The Original Gentlemen.”
