In this mini-episode, Landen and Truman take a lighter look at Money Monster (2016), diving into its quirks, the infamous Sacagawea catchphrase, and why the film’s end-credits rap might be the most baffling cinematic decision since Cats. Plus, they cast a fictional 1990s version of the movie with Kurt Russell, Johnny Depp, and a young Brad Pitt. The verdict? The fake movie might be better.
