The Suspense is Killing Us

Break out the Dunkin' and smokes, we're getting wicked pisser with three thrillers from everyone's 6th or 7th favorite Batman, Ben Affleck! We swear it'll be the best part of your day!

CHANGING LANES (2002, Roger Michell)

GONE GIRL (2014, David Fincher)

DEEP WATER (2022, Adrian Lyne)

We're devoting this whole episode to the mid-career downturn of one Burt Reynolds, famed mega-star, nude pinup and mustache-haver. Yes, we're killing three Burts with one stone, so to speak.

HEAT (1986, Dick Richards)

RENT A COP (1987, Jerry London)

PHYSICAL EVIDENCE (1989, Michael Crichton!)

You've seen all the "famous" and "popular" buddy cop movies, so why not take the road less travelled, with these three second-tier team-ups that put the "WHOA" in duo!

SHAKEDOWN (1988, James Glickenhaus)

RENEGADES (1989, Jack Sholder)

DOWNTOWN (1990, Richard Benjamin)

We hope there are no OBJECTIONS to us discussing three movies about the law and courts and judges and such. But if you don't like it, SUE us! Okay, that's all the law words we know.

RUNAWAY JURY (2003, Gary Fleder)

BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT (2009, Peter Hyams)

THE LINCOLN LAWYER (2011, Bret Furman)

We chose to waive our right to remain silent because we wanted to talk about these three movies about crooked cops and filthy streets. It might get gritty!

TRAINING DAY (2001, Antoine Fuqua)

NARC (2002, Joe Carnahan)

DARK BLUE (2002, Ron Shelton)

We've got a FEVER. And the only PRESCRIPTION are these three *incredibly* varied Christopher Walken movies. And now...little man...we give the podcast to you.

AT CLOSE RANGE (1986, James Foley)

MCBAIN (1991, James Glickenhaus)

WILD SIDE (1995, Donald Cammell)

You thought the kiss of death was bad news, you should try these movies! The whole trio is out of order! Say hello to my little three terrible movies starring Al Pacino! Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown!

THE RECRUIT (2003, Roger Donaldson)

88 MINUTES (2007, Jon Avnet)

RIGHTEOUS KILL (2008, also Jon Avnet)

Your number is up, because we're talking about three (dumb) thrillers that have the word "number" in the title! Mostly they're not really about numbers at all, but one of the movies is literally about a killer number. Try to guess which one! We'll give you twenty three guesses.

MURDER BY NUMBERS (2002, Barbet Schroeder)

LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN (2006, Paul McGuigan)

THE NUMBER 23 (2007, Joel Schumacher)

The heat is on! We're talking all things Beverly Hills Cop: the good, the crazy and the completely worthless. It's better than a banana in the tailpipe!

BEVERLY HILLS COP (1984, Martin Brest)

BEVERLY HILLS COP 2 (1987, Tony Scott)

BEVERLY HILLS COP 3 (1994, John Landis)

TONYVEMBER comes to a triumphant conclusion as we discuss some of the maestro's work from the aughts. You think God will forgive us for what we've done?

SPY GAME (2001)

MAN ON FIRE (2004)

DEJA VU (2006)
