Mindhunters

Val Kilmer, LL Cool J, and Christian Slater star in Renny Harlin's 2004 thriller Mindhunters —a movie about FBI serial killer profilers who act like the worst people in an escape room. Paul, Jason, and June break down how these profilers don't use any of their profiling skills, Christian Slater's death by Rube Goldberg nitrogen murder machine, the logic behind the training island, if Johnny Lee Miller was assaulted by a clock, June's desire for more fun Navy antics, and so much more. Plus, Paul drops a new sad childhood story about his LL Cool J album. • Go to hdtgm.com for tour dates, merch, FAQs, and more • Have a Last Looks correction or omission?
