Shownotes

They say the stunt man gets no respect.  Out of all the things that are in movies, they are unrecognized at the Oscars.  Many times folks have tried to push for an award and category for the stunt men and women and yet each year it never happens.  THE FALL GUY, a film from 2024, actually turns the stuntman into one of the main characters.

From Rotten Tomatoes:  “He's a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right?”

THE FALL GUY is directed by former stuntman David Leitch, who is best known for directing JOHN WICK (2014), ATOMIC BLONDE (2017), DEADPOOL 2 (2018), BULLET TRAIN (2022), among others.  Written by Drew Pearce and starring Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling, the movie received fantastic reviews from critics and audiences alike.  Though it wasn’t the phenomenal box office success the producers had hoped, the movie has gotten a second life on streaming.  Your co-hosts take a look at the film and give their thoughts.
