Episode 19: Pain & Gain

In this episode, Hal & Craig discuss Michael Bay's 2013 film Pain & Gain and its interpretation of how Reagan's American Exceptionalism of the 1980s led to rampant consumerism. This tangent-heavy episode also includes discussions of: 

• The passing of WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt;

• The escalating violence and hostility towards the Cop City protestors in Atlanta (R.I.P. Tortuguita);

• Craig's simultaneous re-read of Lord of the Rings while watching Rings of Power;

• Hal watched the theater re-release of Park Chan Wook's OLDBOY;

• Russell Crowe's dubious Italian accent in THE POPE'S EXORCIST; and

• Armond White ABSOLUTELY crushing it (while also saying dumb things).
