Episode #38: Snitch (Part 2) - a podcast by Film Geek Radio
from 2013-02-28T17:09:38
Charlie Nash sticks around to really dissect the jumbled mediocrity that is Snitch. The movie is an interesting mess, but it's still messy, so they spend half an hour talking through it. Is Jon Bernthal's character sympathetic at all? What's up with all the prison rape? And why isn't Barry Pepper's facial hair the star of its own movie?! Tune in to find out.
