In this episode of the show we are putting a finishing touch on our November exploration of the professional partnership between Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham with a double bill of Wrath of Man and Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Jason Statham's career trajectory as a latter day action star, Wrath of Man as a temporally complex ode to Michael Mann and Ridley Scott, and Operation Fortune as a movie you get when you want to make a Mission: Impossible movie without spending big money. We also talk about the resurgence of Josh Hartnett, the subtle art of nicknaming, and whether Ancient Greeks knew what a polar bear looked like.
Tune in and enjoy this momentous occasion with us!
