Look at me. Barry Sonnenfeld managed to adapt Elmore Leonard\u2019s novel \u201cGet Shorty\u201d into a fun gangster crime-thriller comedy that\u2019s also a satire of the entire film industry. John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo, Delroy Lindo, Danny Devito, and James Gandolfini shine as they are caught up in Chili Palmer\u2019s orbit. In episode 141, Luke & James take a ride in a minivan into Hollywood in the 90s.

Topics: a surprise Gandolfini, stars playing against type, the value of a faithful adaptation, the \u201cTouch of Evil\u201d love connection, the \u201cjoke\u201d title origins, and a vote on which was better: the book or the movie.
