One Hit Thunder Episode 235: “Respect Yourself” by Bruce Willis

We’ve covered Deion Sanders and Eddie Murphy on the podcast, but there’s still a treasure trove of celebrities turned musicians to discuss. However, the case of Bruce Willis is extra strange.

But will Bruce Willis get modest reviews from the harsh critics of One Hit Thunder? Listen and find out if Bruce can earn our respect in the world of music.
