#MagicMics: The Channing Tatum Podcast

While Channing Tatum and Shia LaBeouf may not be altar boys unknowingly competing for the affection of their superiors, the world of A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints still has Italian blood running through its veins. Channing plays Antonio, an angry, young Italian man who parades through the movie shirtless and ready for a fight in a movie that Joe Two likens to Harmony Korine's Kids.

It's time for a very special episode of #MagicMics. Following the announcement that Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum plan to lovingly separate as a couple, Joey and Joe decided to switch up the script and tackle Step Up this month. What better way to honor a marriage than by seeing where it all began?

Supercross is the movie Joe Two has been waiting for, and boy did it ever come through with flying colors. Channing Tatum isn't the star of the film, though Rowdy Sparks is the star of this world, with adoring fans cheering him on at every turn. This movie has major problems -- most notably, incredibly sexist characterizations of its female characters -- but if you're looking for a movie where Channing Tatum rides a dirt bike (is this even the right term?), this is the movie for you.

Channing Tatum might not be in much of Havoc, but it’s still a step in the right direction from his no-show last month. Havoc is a mess of a movie with a backstory more interesting than its plot, but one thing is certain: it needs a lot more Channing Tatum in it. We continue to struggle to come up with a nickname for Channing and an intro catchphrase for the podcast, but that doesn’t stop us from taking a (way too deep) dive into the weird history of Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and other actors you’d never imagine would be in a movie about gangbangers in Los Angeles. We also have a five minute conversation that will drive a lot of people crazy, point out the craziest/coolest/most L.A. thing ever, and Joey reveals a twisted familial lineage that simultaneously makes no sense and all too much sense. Then, in the games portion of the show, we have one of our best rounds of Fire Ass Titles ever and some of the most detailed and intricate guesses for next month’s film yet — including one that is so good and PLEASE LET IT BE THIS.

We made it all the way to the second episode of #MagicMics before we got to a movie without Channing Tatum. War of the Worlds is only the second Spielberg movie covered on the #CageClub Podcast Network, and only the second Tom Cruise movie covered as well. It's a shame, then, that not only is Channing Tatum not in the movie, but the movie isn't very good overall. His absence didn't stop us from talking about this movie for an hour, though, as we imagined what role(s) he'd be perfect in and as we reviewed whether or not our guesses for his shirtless, dancing, fighting, and stripping scenes in this film were correct. (Spoiler alert: he was not in this movie, so they were all wrong... but not completely wrong!) Got a thought? Want to share a picture of strippers? Email us at [email protected].

Considering Coach Carter is Channing Tatum's first movie, he's on screen for a remarkable amount of time. Sure, he leaves the movie down the stretch -- we can't all get what we want, all of the time -- but who in their right mind would play a defensive first white boy in a basketball game where you're down big and need to catch up in a hurry? Not Coach Carter, sir, no sir. Also, as an added bonus, we get some Channing Tatum freestyling PLUS two shirtless scenes. Will he wind up with a higher shirtless average than Zac Efron? It's a question we'll find out together at the end of this #MagicMics journey. Also, we need help coming up with a nickname for Channing, so email us and give us your suggestions, please.

After you spend a year and a half watching every one of Zac Efron's movies and TV shows, where do you go next? Joey and Joe have chosen three paths, including Channing Tatum! Starting all the way back with Coach Carter and working toward today's blockbusters, the guys will watch and talk about everything Channing's ever done. Along the way, there will be games, tangents, and other nonsense. It's not bro time; it's show time.
