Episode 83: Netflix's Hit Man

FAKE IT ‘TIL YOU MAKE IT….NEW EPISODE IS NIGH! WE’RE BAAAAAAACCCCCKKKK!!!! After a short break, the Watch/Skip’ers make a killer comeback on a new episode that is special in more ways than one! Emcee and Cupcake take on their first streaming exclusive film - Netflix’s Hit Man, directed by Richard Linklater and current IT dude, Glen Powell. The two are joined by one of THE pod-fathers - Sam U. Rai from the long running and vaunted Gentleman’s Guide to Midnite Cinema. And hang on for the ride: three plusses (Bruceploitation!, nasal orifices, and tires), a discussion of Linklater’s career, talk of personality tests, morals, flexing, and the definition of your new favorite buzzword: “vatican wafer”. Is Hit Man the herald of a new millennial movie star in the mold of Newman, Brando, and Cruise or should Hollywood really stop trying to make Glen Powell happen?  Can’t invite family and NOT have them stay for a bit of “Q & Alex” so Sammy sticks around for the peek into the host’s psyche. There’s pie, podcasts what if’s, cartoons, political correctness, and, uh………cinematic boners. PUT A HIT OUT ON THE NEW EPISODE!!!
