  • The Gray Man w/ David Hallgren
    Mar 25 2026

    his week on White Pants, Trash-Staches and Leaning Lloyd®:


    Greg and Joe are joined by special guest David Hallgren (a true Gray Man expert who's seen this movie 11 times) to dive into the Russo Brothers' 2022 action spectacular — a $200 million Netflix gamble that continues to pay out for roughly 2 people on this episode.


    Ryan Gosling plays Sierra Six, a CIA black ops mercenary who uncovers agency secrets and becomes the target of every assassin on the planet. Leading the hunt? Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), a sociopathic former colleague with white linen pants, a trash-stache, and zero regard for anyone else. Also featuring Ana de Armas, Billy Bob Thornton, Alfre Woodard, and DRONES. SO MANY DRONES.


    Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo from a Mark Greaney novel, this movie delivers massive action set pieces from Austria to Prague to Croatia — including a mid-air plane explosion that happens 30 minutes in (because why wait for the finale?), and a Prague square shootout where a man handcuffed to a bench somehow survives thousands of bullets.


    Is it the greatest bad movie ever made? Joe thinks it might be top three.

    Is it a little too CGI-muddy for Greg's taste? Absolutely, but he's coming around.

    Does it feature Chris Evans saying "I shot him" with the most gleeful delivery in cinema history? You're darn right it does.


    Greg, Joe, and David discuss leaning Lloyd, the art of the trash-stache, why Alpha Teams One through Three can't hit anything, and whether this franchise would be better in someone else's hands. They also discover that this movie gave them five new tropes, from "busting a gas line" to "gun in fancy foam box" to "talking about missing vital organs."


    As with every episode, this is the conversation that needed to happen about this movie. Also: Drinking Games (prepare for trope overload), Very Important Questions, Joe's Real Back of the Box (with a bonus alternate version from their lost first recording), and more.

  • F1: The Movie
    Mar 11 2026

    In celebration of the Oscars and Best Picture nominees of 2025, Greg and Joe buckle up for Joseph Kosinski's F1 — a movie that Greg saw three times and loved every second of, while Joe wanted to "bang his head into a wall to erase the memory of watching it."


    Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, an 80-year-old driver (okay, he's 61, but the rookie can't tell the difference) who returns to Formula One to help his friend's struggling team and mentor hotshot Joshua Pierce (Damson Idris). It's basically Bull Durham, but with cars. Or Days of Thunder, but with Brad Pitt instead of Tom Cruise.


    Directed by Joseph Kosinski and shot by Top Gun: Maverick cinematographer Claudio Miranda, this $300+ million movie was filmed during actual F1 races with real crowds, real tracks, and the actors actually driving F2 cars made to look like F1 cars. Apple spent $130 million just to be able to make it happen. There are 2,500 VFX shots, mostly to swap out logos for product placement. Expensify is everywhere.


    Is it the most formulaic sports movie ever made? Joe thinks so.

    Is it the most beautiful racing movie ever put to film? Greg thinks so.

    Does it feature Javier Bardem saying "sometimes when you lose, you win" almost convincingly? You're darn right it does.


    Also: Does Brad Pitt invoke Shooter for no reason? Yes. Does the movie feature commentators who explain why everything is dramatic? Absolutely. Would it have been better with Nicolas Cage, Christopher Walken or John Tuturro?? Probably.


    Greg and Joe bring the chaos (Plan C), roll their eyes at the product placement, and discover that Rampage gets five stars but F1 gets... well, you'll have to listen.


    As with every episode, this is the conversation that needed to happen about this movie. Also: Drinking Games (logo count!), Very Important Questions, Joe's Real Back of the Box, and more.

  • The Hitman's Bodyguard
    Feb 26 2026

    This week on Exploding Cars, Singing Nuns and Quipping Killers:


    Greg and Joe tackle 2017's The Hitman's Bodyguard, a movie that asks the age-old question: What if Deadpool and Nick Fury had to road trip together while everyone tried to kill them?


    Ryan Reynolds plays Michael Bryce, a once-elite bodyguard whose life has fallen apart, and Samuel L. Jackson is Darius Kincaid, a legendary hitman who needs to testify at The Hague. The twist? They hate each other. The bigger twist? They have to work together to survive.


    Directed by Patrick Hughes (who clearly loves explosions and banter in equal measure), this movie delivers high-octane action sequences, absurd comic timing, and Salma Hayek absolutely stealing every scene she's in as Kincaid's imprisoned wife who might be more dangerous than both of them combined.


    Is it ridiculous? Absolutely.

    Is it self-aware? Painfully so.

    Does it feature Samuel L. Jacks on singing "I Will Always Love You" while driving a boat through Amsterdam? You're darn right it does.


    Greg and Joe buckle up, check their routes, and discover that sometimes the best protection is a good offense (and a lot of swearing).


    As with every episode, this is the conversation that needed to happen about this movie. Also: Drinking Games, Important Questions, Joe's Back of the Box, and more.
