Demolition

Sometimes you need to break it all down to put it all back together, which is exactly what Hayley and Justin are thinking this week as they dissect 2015's Demolition, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts, Chris Cooper and Judah Lewis -- a Blu-ray disc that J-Mo scooped up on a whim out of the Shoppers Drug Mart discount bin a few years ago not long after watching the 2014 JMV joint Wild. It's a bit of an odd-ball movie and its reputation is less than stellar, but both hosts find a lot to like in this emotionally stunted coming-of-age story that manages to side-step expectation at seemingly every turn. If you'd like to watch the film before listening along, it is currently streaming for free in Canada on Tubi at the time of publication. We'll be back next week with the back-half of this demolition derby, as we watch Stallone and Snipes go head-to-head in the lib-future action satire Demolition Man.
