Hobbs & Shaw (Lap 14)

We've collected our very own Hobbs & Shaw -- Walt Hickey and Kim Bhasin -- to talk about their titular film with "the worst title ever"? (If you agree with Walt and think this title is bad, just wait for Joey's idea for a sequel title.) We get a long overdue train fact before learning how Walt and Kim view Hobbs & Shaw with regards to the rest of the franchise. We talk about the film as a form of "brand activation" and discuss the career of Dwayne Johnson, Movie Star, including how he compares to Arnold Schwarzenegger and where he goes from here. We discuss the Most 80s Moment in a movie that feels like it was written in that decade. Kim swerves on his Most Wrestling Moment and delineates between garages and hideouts. Walt picks his Most D&D Moment and wonders about the ultimate moral of the franchise. We wonder: why do movies encourage people to take on unbeatable opponents?
