Episode #60: 2 Guns (Part 2) - a podcast by Film Geek Radio

Andrew and Monica discuss the racial politics of Hollywood and how an interesting script can sometimes get lost in the execution in their spoiler-filled analysis of 2 Guns. What's up with Paula Patton's character and her decision to do nudity? How is the relationship her character has with Denzel's one of the more tragic in recent memory? And is the movie's depiction of Mexicans offensive or just a symptom or a larger institutional problem?  Tune in to find out. Plus, Hollywood would be wise to take note of their ideas for a sequel in Reboot This!
