Brendon is here to passionately defend this classic shoot-'em-up masterpiece, guns blazing, slow-mo glass shattering, and all. Meanwhile, Rachel’s got one big question: Why is a magical loom deciding who lives and dies? And honestly... fair.Join us as we debate the ethical implications of textile-based assassination, celebrate Angelina Jolie’s intense eye contact, and wonder how James McAvoy went from sad office guy to superhuman murder machine with a mouse-and-keyboard montage.Spoiler: Rachel still thinks the loom is dumb.
