Sparrow’s Under Review: Nobody 2 – Bob Odenkirk Goes Full Action Hero


Listen Later

Episode SummaryThis week, J.R. and Stacey dive into Nobody 2, the unexpected sequel starring Bob Odenkirk (a.k.a. Saul Goodman from Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad). We weren’t even sure we remembered the first one — but somehow this sequel pulled us in, kept our phones down, and had us laughing and wincing through all the chaos.

From the 89-minute runtime to the brutal-but-relatable action, we break down what worked, what didn’t, and why this “ordinary guy turned action hero” flick just might earn itself a cult following. Plus, we talk about:

  • ​How Christopher Lloyd is still ageless (Back to the Future meets Rick and Morty energy).
  • ​Why Bob Odenkirk’s fights feel way more human than Liam Neeson’s invincible Taken style.
  • ​Colin Hanks stepping in and getting absolutely wrecked.
  • ​Whether lighting piles of cash really means we’re heading to Nobody 3.
  • ​Why this is the kind of movie that will live forever on TNT reruns.

Movie Stats:

  • ​Budget: $25M
  • ​Box Office: $39.3M
  • ​Rotten Tomatoes: 78%
  • ​Metacritic: 59/100
  • ​CinemaScore: B+

Our Take:A solid, fast-paced, funny action flick with just enough grit and heart. We’d watch another one — but three might be the limit.
