S14 Ep754: Gamer (Live in Atlanta)

“Cue the Bloodhound Gang!” - Chris, on this film’s soundtrack 

Recorded Live at City Winery in Atlanta, GA 4.25.24

For the first summer break episode of 2024, the guys were in Atlanta talking about the Gerard Butler video game action adventure, Gamer! Why couldn’t they edit these action scenes a little more clearly so you can follow this stuff? How lame is it to set your film “a certain time from now”? Did we really need to hear that Marilyn Manson “Sweet Dreams” cover in a movie again? Is Michael C. Hall’s character one of the worst villains in action cinema? And do these poor bastard avatar people get any days off from killing adventures? PLUS: Did Gerard Butler sign on to the film because he thought he was being asked to play Cable, the X-Men character? 

Gamer stars Gerard Butler, Michael C. Hall, Amber Valletta, Kyra Sedgwick, Logan Herman, Ludacris, Aaron Yoo, Johnny Whitworth, John de Lancie, Milo Ventimiglia, Zoë Bell, John Leguizamo, Terry Crews, and Keith David as Agent Keith; directed by Neveldine & Taylor.
