49: Den of Thieves & The Ugly Truth (with Morgan Phillips)

from Rotten Rewind · host rotten rewind

The day has finally come that Rotten Rewind puts some fucking respect on Gerard Butler's name. The Scottish actor has played Dracula and The Phantom of the Opera, he's headlined apocalyptic thrillers and gone toe to toe doing Shakespeare with Ralph Fiennes. Today on the podcast though, we're looking at two very different periods in Butler's career: his late 2000s rom-com phase and his current status as Most Divorced Action Star in America. We're joined by actor, writer and devoted Butler stan, Morgan Phillips, to discuss the 2009 romantic comedy The Ugly Truth featuring Katherine Heigl, before jumping forward 10 years for the sprawling Michael Mann fan-fiction thriller Den of Thieves, where Butler squares off against a crew of bank robbers as the Everlast-loving, alcoholic cop "Big Nick." Grab a sixer and your favorite pair of boot-cut Levi's because it's time to fall in love with America's most underrated leading man. Both films are available to rent wherever you rent movies!
