What's in the DVD Box?

Deja Vu has the same lead (Denzel) and same director (Tony Scott) as Man on Fire. We found at least a half dozen parallel scenes between the two films too. Does it stack up? Is it better? We aren't so sure. Listen along as we unpack why!

In this episode, we unpack The Manchurian Candidate and its mix of political paranoia, mind control, and early-2000s thriller vibes. We talk standout scenes and the powerhouse performances from Denzel Washington, Liev Schreiber, and Meryl Streep, as well as dream logic, sleeper agents, questionable brain surgery, and whether this one deserves a spot in the DVD box.

We watched Rambo (2008) so you don't have to. David tries to convince Jonathan that this is one of the best action movies available. Does Jonathan take the bait? Find out.Note: A few times we refer to the film's Barrett M82 usage as a "Beretta .50 cal". This is totally on Jonathan and is a mistake.

This movie is a must watch if you are or hope to be a father. And if you want to make your own films. David and Jonathan have a great time discussing this film, it's strengths and shortcomings. It has many fantastic individual pieces, but the sum falls short of its aspirations.

This movie is riddled with plot holes, none of which are noticeable because Denzel Washington has some incredible aura about him. Why was this in the DVD box originally? Is it worth a watch today?

Is Die Hard a Christmas Movie? Is that even the best question to ask? Jonathan watched this movie for the first time and David tries to convince him this is the Greatest Christmas Movie Ever Made.

A regrettable trip down memory lane, where we visit Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass crew for the second Jackass movie. There are some genuinely funny stunts, and we had to look away for many more.

We loved what was lovable about this movie, the punchy dialog and fun action sequences. And some thoughts on the shortcomings. Find out what David and Jonathan think about The Fugitive, Tommy Lee Jones performance, and Dad Fights.
