The Weekly Movie Throwdown Episode 004: Statham Double Feature! Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch

We wrap up Jason Statham month we go back to the beginning with a double feature from the actor's early days. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch are both great examples of what Statham brought to the table right from the start. In these two collaborations with director Guy Ritchie he has leading man charisma without the throat-punches and dropkicks he'd go on to incorporate later in his career. This month has been a fun examination of a career that is surprisingly diverse. Our initial thoughts of Statham as a bull in a china shop who's dropped into various scenarios went out the window quickly as we discovered the nuances of his performances over the years. Fighting, playing for laughs, and even narrating, this badass Brit can do it all.Send us your thoughts on the show and Jason Statham at [email protected] us on Patreon for bonus episodes and a bunch of other content and follow us at @moviethrowdownpod on all your favorite social media platforms.To find out where to watch Crank, search for them on JustWatch.And if you’d like to log as you go you can find everything we discuss this month on our Letterboxd list page here.Subscribe to the Weekly Movie Throwdown on Apple Podcasts | Spotify | RSSFolllow the show on social media and vote for a winner each week.YOUTUBE: youtube.com/@MovieThrowdownPodINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/moviethrowdownpod/TIKTOK: tiktok.com/@moviethrowdownpodTHREADS: threads.com/@moviethrowdownpodFACEBOOK: facebook.com/moviethrowdownpodLETTERBOXD: letterboxd.com/moviethrowdown/ Hosted on Acast.
