Description
Welcome to the Munsons at the Movies podcast. Each episode we delve into the filmography and impact of a randomly selected actor. In this episode, we explore the career of William Atherton. Best known for his roles as Richard Thornburg in Die Hard (1988), Walter Peck in Ghostbusters (1984), and Professor Hathaway in Real Genius (1985), Atherton built a career on being one of the best assholes on-screen. Joined for the 6th time by Dan Craig, we explore Atherton’s charismatic start as Clovis in Spielberg’s Sugarland Express (1974), his bizarre story coming out story on the Donahue show, his excellent character names over the years, attempt to explain why he hasn’t done more voice work throughout his career, and Kyle unironically defends Bill’s performance in Bio-Dome (1995). How does Atherton rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.
