Repo Men (2009) vs. Buffaloed (2019)

It's a wacky double feature for the category of "Money Troubles". Repo Men is an unhinged sci-fi actioner that we had a great time breaking down. Forest Whitaker just can't miss. Buffaloed on the other hand gave us pause as we uncovered some troubling political opinions held by it' s leading star. Will either make the Greatest Films of the 21st Century List? Which host will win ?!! Tune in to find out. Just don't forget a few dollars for the convenience. Remember to rate review and follow the show.

I, Robot vs. Hero

We are back in the battle arena with two "Summer Action" movies. The Will Smith lead "I, Robot" was not exactly what we expected and left us with many questions like; What kind of hat is that anyways? or Did Elon Musk watch this one too many times? Then it's the martial arts epic "Hero" . We had a thrill uncovering this somewhat forgotten Jet Li gem. Tune in to find out if either film makes the Greatest Films of The 21st Century List!
