Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

We have a lot of questions about the romance, and a lot more about the world of Doug Liman's 2005 action comedy sensation. Join in as we discuss the Brad Pitt / Angelina Jolie affair, the movie's gender politics, and private assassination companies. Plus: How did the Smiths build separate weapons vaults without noticing one another's? Why is the first half of this movie so dull? Is Keith David just running Charlie's Angels? And, once again, how do private assassin companies even work? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!
