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. Will we dig deep into our feelings for CGI fighting? Will we praise Arturo Castro, Billy Magnussen and Jessica Williams? Will the swordfish shown at the start amount to anything? 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.”

Harper Lee’s iconic book was turned to life with Gregory Peck’s phenomenal portrayal of Atticus Finch as the cornerstone of the entire cultural behemoth. In this episode we discuss Galaxy Chocolate’s US brand name, Foghorn Leghorn and Cut For Time SNL sketches.

Johnny Knoxville and Brian Cox star in a film where the heart may be in the right place but the realisation definitely isn’t, so naturally there’s discussion of how it appeared on Disney+ when the Fox deal happened, and only when we plan an episode does it leave. Also long talk on the Joker: Folie a Deux trailer and a visit from Wallace Shawn to remind everyone that Rifkin’s Festival happened.
