Quicksilver_poster

Episode 121: The crew’s bringing you the only podcast episode to ever review, Kevin Bacon’s bike messenger movie, Quicksilver.

TheDeadPool1988Poster

Episode 120: The crew’s concluding their “Summer of ’88” retrospective series with, the fifth and final Dirty Harry film, The Dead Pool. Clint Eastwood is back in his iconic role, Jim Carrey lip-syncs to Guns N’ Roses, and there’s a car chase with a toy RC car! The film seems tone-deaf to police brutality in our modern times; there’s a scene with “Dirty” Harry Callahan shooting a fleeing suspect in the back. Jared’s revised tagline for The Dead Pool: His enemies don’t go to jail – They go to Hell.
