It's Like The Hunger Games, But Much Worse

from The Takeaway: Movie Date

This week's Movie Date podcast is all about new beginnings...or more accurately, questionable recycling of stuff we already know.  We're talking about "The Gunman," which features the same director as "Taken," and an aging protagonist assassin who is not Liam Neeson (Sean Penn). Also on the chopping block: "Tracers," which features Taylor Lautner of "Twilight" fame, possibly trying to go down a new path, possibly remaking a movie that was already done last year ("Brick Mansions'). And, of course, Rafer and Kristen discuss this week's big opener, "The Divergent Series: Insurgent," which feels an awful lot like "The Hunger Games," but which might not be as good.  All that, plus this week's Sweatpants picks and Trivia!
