EP111: Training Day – Worst 1st Day EVER!!!

We closed out season 10 with our review of Training Day, starring Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Scott Glen, and Chris Curtis. We discussed the career of Denzel Washington and why it was so important to him to have Alonzo meet his end so violently, the politics of Denzel winning an Academy Award for this role in particular, the racial dynamics between Alonzo and Jake, our favorite scenes, how the ending doesn’t actually make a lot of sense and how this movie would work better if Jake was actually a federal agent.
