    Dec 10 2025

    The adventures continue! In the words of Hot Rod (2007), one of the greatest films of all time: "Life is short - stunt it!" Jason and Ryan break down the onslaught of intense, stunt-focused, hyper-action flicks that have emerged in the last decade. From John Wick (2014) to Atomic Blonde (2017) to Nobody (2021) to The Fall Guy (2024), exhilarating fight choreography has carved a fresh new niche in Hollywood.

    The Deep Question: Ho ho ho! You're awakened from a sweet dream of electric sheep when you hear the prancing and pawing of hoofs above. It's Santa Claus!! He's nabbed one of Hollywood's most impressive movie props to gift you for Christmas. What do you hope it is??
