#884: Top 5 Brad Pitt Performances / Bullet Train
When Brad Pitt arrived on screen 30+ years ago, he was a pretty face with a surprising sinister side. That brief turn in Ridley Scott’s “Thelma and Louise” proved to be a template for the actor’s diverse and increasingly accomplished film career. For proof of Pitt’s growth as an actor, look no further than the very existence of this week’s TOP 5 BRAD PITT PERFORMANCES, featuring a mea culpa from long-time Pitt skeptic Adam. And for proof of the high quality of the Pitt filmography, consider that Adam and Josh share only one title between them. Also on the show, Adam’s thoughts on Pitt in the new BULLET TRAIN from director David Leitch.
