About this episode
“All the Nolans [movies] are present here; I’m surprised no one’s a fucking magician!” - Steve
On our first episode of the year, the four of us bend our understanding of reality to chat about a real massive let down, Robert Rodriguez’s Hypnotic! What in the world were they thinking with all these garbage twists? How much exposition can you expect one Dunkin’ Donuts-loving man to drop in a single movie? Does The X-Files’ Chris Carter have a case here? And is the public currently with Ben or did he lose everybody again? PLUS: Alex Jones is being railroaded by Hypnotics!
Hypnotic stars Ben Affleck, William Fichtner, Alice Braga, JD Pardo, Dayo Okeniyi, Jackie Earle Haley, Sandy Avila, and Jeff Fahey as Carl Everett; directed by Robert Rodriguez.
