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.

It's the episode you literally voted for, so this week democracy wins. We hesitantly got on peak dad-hero Harrison Ford's Air Force One (and he seemed a little grumpy about it, tbh.)

It feels a lot like The Fugitive, but with more neck-snapping, and the delightfully unhinged Gary Oldman as a terrorist who somehow hijacks both the world’s most secure aircraft and Joe's heart.

Directed by submarine-and-storm enthusiast Wolfgang Petersen, this is Greg's ultimate “Die Hard on a blank” entry — a movie where the President of the United States personally handles hostage negotiations by punching them. (The Vice President, Glenn Close, does all the negotiations, obviously. Vice Presidents do that.)

Is it ridiculous? Yes.

Is it sincere? Also yes.

Does it feature the Leader of the Free World growling “Get off my plane” before launching a man into open air? You bet your nuclear codes it does.

Greg and Joe strap in, secure the escape pod, and learn a little something about themselves along the way.

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

What if your entire life was a lie, but also you're really good at parkour? Salt is a movie four years ahead of its time and about eleven different cuts ahead of Greg and Joe truly understanding it. They discuss how this spy thriller delivers John Wick-level action sequences but with a plot that requires an advanced degree in, I don't know, something. Is Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) a loyal CIA agent? A Russian sleeper agent? Both? Neither? The answer is yes—and also no.

Join them as they debate the critical clues in this film, like how a half-eaten sandwich and an overturned chair are obvious signs of kidnapping, why a German arachnologist is the perfect husband for a spy, and how Angelina Jolie maintains perfect hair after dyeing it black in a sink. They marvel at the 17-minute escape sequence, attempt to understand Liev Schreiber's motivations, and confirm that spider venom is a totally normal thing to just have on hand.

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