It's a tentpole of the action genre, a movie that spawned a thousand imitators. Some of its lines are *still* a big part of the lexicon (you know, the one about being too old for this shit, etc.). And yes--it's a Christmas movie. On this episode of the pod we dissect key scenes in 1987's LETHAL WEAPON while considering alternate universes in which Bruce Willis plays Riggs and Bob Hoskins plays Murtaugh, plus the chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover and how their performances and differences skyrocketed the buddy cop action movie as an art form and launched a decade-long franchise. We also discuss how Riggs' character arc mirrors that of many characters in Christmas movies, facial hair, Onlyfans, Gary Busey, whether it's weird or not for your entire family to run into the bathroom while you're in the tub, Warner Bros.' decision to stream their 2021 releases on HBO Max, and how badly we want to see movies in theaters again someday. We also dive into Mel Gibson's very public, very hateful meltdown in the 2000s, his efforts to apologize and rehabilitate his image, which led us into a discussion on cancel culture as a whole that hopefully won't get *us* canceled.
