159. Borderlands (2024)

After a rough evening of frivolity and libations, DL & Tommy rally to discuss The Jinx Season 2, musings on the original Gladiator film and that DL no longer has a coffee machine. Or a couch.

Tommy and DL muse on the game franchise adaptation (having not played it themselves) as a point in the Loss column for video game films. Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Jamie Lee Curtis... how could you lose? Turns out you can. And Tiny Tina is still annoying.
