It’s time to not be nice. Doug Liman’s remake of the Swayze classic and previous episode is here on the Primes and we’re taking a trip to Florida with Jake Gyllenhaal in wild man mode, shirtless, angry, fighting and fussing.

Some of those questions have positive responses, so grab a bottle, smash a table and remember the famous phrases of Elwood Dalton. “The hospital’s 25 minutes away.”
