TRAINING DAY
from Aya Vs. The Big Boys Hosted by Aya Lehman, Kevin Cookman
Finally, FINALLY: it's Denzel time. Denzel Washington, your parents' favorite actor and one of the top 3 superstars pumping out hit after hit still to this day, wins his lone Best Actor Oscar in the grimy, insane, GTA-inspiring TRAINING DAY, a dour portrait of a Los Angeles of Christmas Past when Sweetgreens didn't pollute every borough, Pacific Dining Co. was still alive and primarily funded by crooked ass cops ordering well-done steaks, and Echo Park before the transplants gentrified it so hard that they could eat $23 take-out where bodies were once buried. Are you a wolf? OR ARE YOU A SHEEP?? The duo discusses post-9/11 flops, Denzel Washington's disappointing track record, David Ayer's insane life story, the Church of Scientology, and being afraid of Mexicans. Are you ready to make detective?? Strap in.
