Atomic Blonde - I'll Give You One Hint: Domino Theory

Atomic Blonde - I'll Give You One Hint: Domino Theory

Today, the boys take a look at Charlize Theron's spectacular Cold War thriller, Atomic Blonde--the ONLY movie where you can get a stunning 1980s soundtrack, John Goodman in a suit and a verifiable chorus of Eastern European dudes getting whacked in their Lyndon B Johnsons with firehoses. What part of the body is "Lyndon B Johnson" a metaphor for? You'll have to listen to find out, dear listener. You'll have to listen. But if you thought "nards," you're right.

Point Break (1991) - They Crucify The Gorilla

The boys take a course in Early Keanu History with his action-filled role as FBI agent Johnny Utah, playing opposite the chillest sociopath you'll ever meet in Patrick Swayze. Thoughtful deep dives into the relationship between action and romance, lingering studies of high-stakes tension, discussions on the nature of sadism--all this and more are ruined by Sam bouncing his knee and making the microphone shake for, like, three minutes near the start. God, that's annoying.

Bloodsport - Crucifix Spurs Is A Vibe

The boys talk about one of the most foundational films to the martial arts genre, defining many of its most treasured tropes--secretive high-stakes tournaments, fists soaked in gore, the burning warrior spirit and dudes threateningly making their pecs bounce like a couple of evil hams.

The Meg - This T-Rex Is Just Too Comfortable With His Body

Today, Will and Sam enjoy a monster movie for a new era. Jason Statham turns in a mostly-hairless performance as a deep sea rescue specialist hired by a multinational team of scientists to dive to the bottom of the ocean and punch the hell out of some sea life. And speaking of deep dives, we finally get to the bottom of why the nation of Japan is so pissed at Joe Jonas.

Sahara - All Is White And Empty

This week, Will introduces Sam to his favorite movie that has been or ever will be--Sahara, starring Matthew McConaughey as Dirk Pitt, which is a name that sounds like a dude who has been involved in numerous last stands and is linked to at least two different civil wars.
