Rounding off Bad Boys month with a Martin Lawrence action comedy vehicle, Andrew pines for the days of economy in storytelling, and Johnny remembers the glories of iSpy, a film nobody had talked about since the day it premiered.
173 - BAD BOYS FOR LIFE
Hitting the mark at the end of the trilogy, Johnny cannot understand why he signed up to seeing all three, and Andrew is hesitant about a Bay-less installment, and what the legacy of Joe Carnahan will be to the third film.
172 - BAD BOYS II
Coming in to the 21st century and a vulgar auterist creation lambasted and weirdly lauded, Johnny finds himself questioning the franchise as a whole, and specifically the purpose of action cinema in an incomprehensible manner. Andrew, meanwhile, attempts to deconstruct, to find meaning, in the bayhem unleashed.
171 - BAD BOYS
What you gonna do? We’re gonna watch Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, IN THAT ORDER, debut Michael Bay to the world, as the third film prepares to release. Will the cinema auterism of Bay be seen? Will Will Smith like Miami? Will Tea Leoni in black hair never not look like Kat Slater?
