In honor of our 50th episode, we're taking this podcast back to where it began -- with Chev Chelios. Listen as we talk about all things Crank 2, from the Godzilla-style fight sequence to the horse race sex scene and oh so much more.

How does this movie strike a balance between lampooning action movie tropes and playing directly into them? In what ways did the reviews for Crank 2 oversimplify things? Have our fancasts for Jason Statham and company changed over the course of 50 episodes? Listen to find out.

Also, listen to the end for some news, and why you will hopefully be getting episodes from us a lot more frequently!
