About this episode
Jason & Rachel wrestle with The Smashing Machine — Benny Safdie’s bruising MMA drama starring Dwayne Johnson & Emily Blunt. Is it The Rock’s best performance? Why did it flop at the box office? And could it still earn him Oscar buzz?
Also: J.Lo’s new musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, Stephen King’s Welcome to Derry, Ryan Murphy’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story, and a joyful rewatch of The Naked Gun.
