In a very special Marky Mark episode, Joe and Greg discuss how Wahlberg starts the movie with short hair, but then has a ponytail, and then short hair again... So to answer your question: Yes, there’s a LOT to unpack here. Joe dares to ask if we should take Marky Mark seriously, and Greg just kind of Gregs a lot.

See if you can follow any coherent plot (if you find one please let us know.) Play along with our drinking games and listen for new tropes. This movie has it all.

2003’s biggest surprise (besides The OC and maybe Arnold becoming a governor.) A movie, star, and director that are all SO much better than you’d expect. Remember 2003? This movie encapsulates it. The Rock is a professional bounty hunter who hates his job, guns, and a wannabe Indiana Jones named Travis (Seann William Scott), who’s too busy searching for a mythical golden artifact in the Amazon to answer his dad’s phone calls. Rosario Dawson is reliably great in a well-written part that's basically Karen Allen from Raiders of the Lost Ark minus the drinking competition (👎) and romance (👍).

What follows is a buddy comedy where “buddy” mostly means “I’ll beat you up if you don’t stop talking.” The Rock tries to keep a straight face while dealing with angry rebels, homicidal monkeys, and Christopher Walken’s unhinged speech about tooth fairy folklore. Yep, that happens.

Add in some slow-motion fight scenes, a lot of jungle explosions, and more eyebrow-raises than we'd like to talk about, and you’ve got The Rundown—a movie that fosters this week's conversation that needed to happen.

A movie about grown ups, who go to work and solve crimes, in shorts.

We know pants are important to you. You probably wonder, “how are these movie detectives constantly running around in full length pants??” That’s why this week’s episode is about 1993’s Striking Distance with Bruce Willis and Sarah Jessica Parker. They opted for short pants, because we can all make decisions.

Quick question: Is there a distance left to strike? Play along with our drinking games, important questions, and insightful tips on how to have a conversation in the middle of a car chase. This movie is a who’s who of “hard boiled” male actors chewing the scenery. Secure the stern line and get ready for a movie where MOST of the people seem to be enjoying themselves, minus Bruce Willis. Probably because of the shorts? Probably because of the shorts.

(If you've read this far, you should know that we determined there was no distance left to strike.)
