Have no fear of something new - it's just another way to say "Shuffle-sode." This time the flicks were truly grabbed out of a bag, so it seemed appropriate. As we hope to start fires in your mind for movies to shove in your eyes, Matt enjoyed a newly kindled flame this episode. See how these 3 decades brought their entertainment game...

- Hobbs & Shaw (Fast n Furious)
- Mission Impossible: Fallout
Taking a look at the last 2 summers for action, we compare the approaches to the genre. A strong uptick over the last 5 summers has brought our expectations for action pieces to an extreme level, and not everyone can provide what some of us demand - as the title shows...
Matt forgot to mention plot struggles for the characters with MI vs. Hobbs & Shaw: the MI film series has become infamous with difficult entry/espionage, usually with setbacks that are exciting to watch & wonder how they'll recover. While Michael Giacchino has done extraordinary things with the MI theme, Balfe really excels in this one!

In this episode we cover some sports Matt was too lazy to ever get good at doing. Actually, that's a wide list, but these were of interest while we sometimes settle for enjoying them through others or through movies that showcase them. Incidentally a perfect choice to round out the summer & coincide with Matt seeing the Beach Boys live!! Soak it in, fellow sluts!
Links: Logan (has all Beltrami links).
Notes: Thrashin' is actually 67%, the other 2 are 70%.
