Morally Offensive

Atomic Blonde (2017): The Coldest City


Listen Later

Charlize Theron's action-packed cold war passion project, Atomic Blonde, was not well received by audiences when it dropped in late Summer of 2017. Some dismissed the film as a "female John Wick" knockoff, or criticized it for it's confusing, labyrinthine plot. 8 years later, the guys re-examine this singular, unique entry into the Action genre, and look at how it's reputation has grown since it's release. The film takes place in the late 80s, and centers around a British Spy, tasked with a extracting an East German Stazi defector into the West. The officer, codenamed "Spyglass" has access to a secret list, which could have terrifying ramifications for all major powers involved in the cold war. The cast is a star-studded affair, featuring James Mcavoy, Sofia Boutella, John Goodman, Toby Jones, a young Bill Skarsgård, Sam Hargrave and James Faulkner, with direction by one of the top Stunt coordinators in the field, David Leitch. As always, the guys look at the contemporary US Catholic reactions and reviews, to determine whether or not the film truly is "Morally Offensive". Bill and Cisco are joined by Chicago comedian Thomas Bottoms as well as his co-host in radio broadcasting, Mike Borden.
