Episode 234 - Revolver (2005)
After the smash successes of his first two films, followed up by mass audiences immensely disliking the Madonna vanity project of "Swept Away", Guy Ritchie decides to return to his roots by getting his good buddy Jason Statham to grow some hair and star in a convoluted, pretentious psychological crime thriller, "Revolver"! Join Rob & Ben as they finish up their focus on Statham with this doozy of a movie. But why is this one of Rob's favorite movies ever? What other convoluted, pretentious film that Rob loves is similar to this one? Why do we not yet have a twelve dollar bill? How can it be true that this movie is all about waffles? Listen in to find out!

Episode 233 - Snatch (2000)
You thought Rob & Ben were done with Jason Statham? Never! Especially not when we haven't gotten to any of his movies that involve Guy Ritchie! But how do Statham's acting chops hold up in his pre-action man era? Why are Vinnie Jones and Dennis Farina so much fun to watch? Why did critics think this and "Lock, Stock, Etc." are the same movie? Listen in to find out!

Episode 232 - The Mechanic (2011) & Mechanic: Resurrection
Rob and Ben are back to Jason Statham with one of his action-man franchises, "The Mechanic"! It turns out that this is a reboot of a Charles Bronson movie of the same name, which gets some time in the discussion too. But how does Statham's action career stack up to others of the modern era? Is it a double, triple, or reverse switcharoonie? What is this place and do we already know what it is? Listen in to find out!

Join Ben & Rob as they finish up some filmographies that they've previously started, and what better way to kick it off than with "Miss March"! Being Zach Cregger's only directorial effort before "Barbarian", it certainly is an incredibly different movie. But does it stand the test of time? Why was Playboy involved in this movie?
