Why HIT MAN Shouldn't Be On Netflix.
In a news-heavy episode, Ewan and Lachlan discuss the trailers for Venom 3, MaXXXine, Alien: Romulus, and Pharrell's Lego biopic Piece By Piece. They also cover the new Star Wars series The Acolyte, Godzilla Minus One, Poolman, The Watchers, and The Last Stop in Yuma County. Bridging the gap between movies and games, they highlight the key moments from Summer Game Fest and review the week's casting news. Finally, they discuss Ewan's favorite film of the year, Richard Linklater's Hit Man, starring Glen 'Movie Star' Powell.
Movies We Missed in 2024 So Far
Ewan and Lachlan dive into the latest casting news for Knives Out 3, also known as Wake Up Dead Man, and debate who is the bigger Guy Ritchie fan. They discuss the teaser for Moana 2 and the trailer for Wolfs, starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Ewan shares his thoughts on Atlas and IF, and wraps up his views on the seasons for X-Men '97 and Abbott Elementary Season 2. Finally, they catch up on four films not yet discussed on the podcast: Boy Kills World, Sasquatch Sunset, Anyone But You, and Evil Does Not Exist.
THE FALL GUY is Fun as F**k!
Ewan and Lachlan share their thoughts on David Leitch's The Fall Guy starring generational movie star Ryan Gosling and fake Dune director Emily Blunt. They both watched a bunch of Alex Garland films for an upcoming director bracket, and Lachlan even made himself sit through Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver. It was painful... Ewan watched the original Mad Max trilogy, The Nice Guys, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Lachlan shows off his pricey 4K steelbook purchases and argues why 28 Years Later should still be filmed in the bad video quality of the first one.
