Dana and Tom welcome Walter Gainer II from Boss Locks to discuss one of the seminal crime dramas of the 2000s, Training Day (2001): directed by Antoine Fuqua, written by David Ayer, starring Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Scott Glenn, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg.
Plot Summary: Seeking a change from his quiet beat in suburban Los Angeles, Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) is assigned to the narcotics division of the LAPD which polices some of the roughest and most violent areas of LA. His trainer is Detective Sergeant Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington), a 13-year narcotics veteran who has long since blurred the line between legality and corruption. With Harris as his guide, Hoyt will be pulled ever deeper into Harris’ world, and will be forced to choose his future path.
