Bloo Azul on The Jackal

Here at CABBAGES , we don't like to repeat ourselves. Yet this TOTALLY '90S season demands a repeat performance from one of that decade's biggest stars: Bruce Willis. So with Bronx rapper Bloo Azul as our special guest (and his latest albums Déjà Bloo and Sacré Bloo in heavy rotation here), we get into the Hollywood remake mess that is The Jackal (1997, dir.
