Brad Weston, yeah, that guy’s got a pretty wild filmography if you ask me. You’ve probably seen his name pop up in some pretty different places—like, one minute he’s attached to “Queen & Slim,” this sorta raw, gut-punch of a film that came out in 2019 and just floored people with its energy and attitude. That movie dives deep into the chaos that can unfold from a single night gone wrong, mixing love, desperation, and a kinda Bonnie-and-Clyde vibe but with way more edge. Then, if you go back a bit, there’s “Runner Runner” from 2013—a totally different beast. Weston was right there for this slick, Vegas-meets-Costa Rica thriller with Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck. It’s got gambling, corruption, rich people behaving badly, all that jazz. Not exactly Oscar bait, but hey, it’s a wild ride if you’re into adrenaline and double-crosses. But the real cherry on top? He’s got “Super Mario Bros.” from way back in 1993 under his belt. Total cult classic territory. I mean, that movie’s nuts—dinosaurs, weird dystopian cityscapes, Bob Hoskins running around in plumber overalls… It’s a fever dream from the early ‘90s, and people still can’t agree if it’s genius or just weird as hell. So, Brad Weston’s kinda all over the place, genre-wise. He’s been a part of some genuinely memorable stuff, no matter how you slice it. From gritty drama to popcorn thrillers to full-on nostalgia trips, his credits are a wild mix that just keeps things interesting.
G.I. Joe’s legacy runs deep—seriously, the guy behind the original concept was Stan Weston, and his son carried the torch in his own way. You’ve got to appreciate that kind of family tradition; it’s almost like the toy world’s version of a dynasty. G.I. Joe wasn’t just some random doll, either. Weston wanted something more badass, something that looked like it could survive a jungle mission or save the day in a pinch. That’s where all the cool action features and those iconic uniforms came from. People still geek out about the detail on those early figures. It’s wild how something dreamed up by one creative mind (with a little help from his family, honestly) ended up shaping pop culture for decades. And let’s be real, there’s a reason grown adults still hunt down vintage G.I. Joes—nostalgia’s a heck of a drug. The Westons definitely left their mark on playtime history.
