In this episode:
A bored married couple is surprised to learn that they are both assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other.
Our predictions: Will it hold up?
Ryan– Yes
Ashley- Yes
Show Notes:
-Ashley reminisces about going to the movies by herself.
– We talk about how we associate this movie with the epic Brad Pitt/Jennifer Aniston break up.
– We predict that there will be some dated tech in this film.
– We keep calling it a spy film in the beginning of the episode, but the characters are actually assassins.
– We are pleasantly suprised by some of the cameos in this movie.
-Ryan gets excited about the legends of action movies.
-Ryan rocked Arnetts? Google them apparently.
– We question whether that bottom oven (where Jane hides some of her guns) functions as a real oven.
-We keep saying “ear pods” but what we mean are “air pods.”
-We talk about cool tech in action films.
-Our DVD version of this film had that one pirating commercial from the mid 2000’s. (Click the link to watch it!)
-Ryan talks about that time his brother made him do the “Brad Pitt Punch” as a good luck charm in Vegas.
-We question how they got away with so much in this movie without much police showing up. Then we decide that more people probably should mind their business.
– We compare John and Jane’s assassin styles.
– We discuss how problematic Eddie is as a character.
-Ryan DID say that he was giving his Cagey to the same person at the beginning of Ashley’s choice.
-Ashley is conflicted in deciding if this movie condones domestic violence. (It at least glorifies unhealthy relationships.).
