One of us walked out of the theater in a trance. The other said the last 20 minutes was the only thing he actually wanted to see. We also break down the full production story including John Williams' 30th collaboration with Spielberg, the practical-first shooting approach, the one-take studio scene, the train sequence, and the ending. Currently sitting at 81% on Rotten Tomatoes — does it deserve it? The Binge Bros disagree on that one too.
