S1E1 - 'The Fall Guy' is ridiculous. And we wouldn't want it any other way.

Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt star in David Leitch's newest film "The Fall Guy."

When they reunite a whirlwind of unresolved feelings and literal chaos ensues. Is "The Fall Guy" and action movie? Yes. Is it a rom-com? Absolutely. Is it kind dumb? 100%.
