Seattle Times writer Moira Macdonald joins us to talk about (her pick!) Rampage with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson… Moira was a mystery guest to Greg until the moment she arrives, orchestrated by friend of the show David Hallgren and Joe Sky-Tucker.

This week we learned 2018’s Rampage is an under-celebrated feat in cinema…. Potentially one of the most enjoyable movies in recent years. The Rock once again teams up with director Brad Peyton to make a movie David describes as “The seventy-est percent movie ever made.” (70% of course being our Rotten Tomato rating for every movie we watch.)

This was a surprisingly easy movie to write a love letter to, and an absolute blast for Greg and Joe to hang out with Moira and David.

It goes without saying… All four of us laughed a lot, and learned a little something about ourselves along the way 😀

We've alluded to our love of this movie for a long time... It's time to look 2 minutes ahead, and talk about the incomparable NEXT.

Nicolas Cage stars as Shy, Socially Awkward Nicolas Cage. Usually that would work, for some reason it doesn't here. Director Lee Tamahori, who has proven himself as an incredibly talented director, also seems to be having an off day. Jessica Biel and Julianne Moore are there to raise the bar, but can't save this movie from itself.

It's a real mystery why this movie doesn't work and yet is one of the most enjoyable films in history. Greg and Joe can't stop watching and talking about it.... So where is the magic that makes this amazing? They find that one of their favorite editors, Christian Wagner, brought much of the magic. Cinematographer David Tattersall does some arresting work. Production designer William Sandell brings his A-Game. Writer Gary Goldman wrestled with tough source material, and brought some contemporary ideas to the script. Great people, above and below the line, make this a sneakily great movie, one that we will rewatch forever.

We do a lot of episodes for them. This one is for us.
