We contracted the services of Jake Serwin, co-host of America's premier Clint Eastwood podcast Pod Casty For Me, to take on a pair of films about a professional assassin having a crisis of conscience after botching his most recent job.

First up, we talk The Replacement Killers, Antoine Fuqua's first feature and Hong Kong superstar Chow Yun-fat's Hollywood debut, pairing him with recent Oscar winner Mira Sorvino for an extremely American riff on Hong Kong's Heroic Bloodshed genre, popularized by Chow and The Replacement Killers' executive producer John Woo. 

Then we wade in to David Fincher's latest film for Netflix, 'The Killer'. It's a sharp, potent thriller hybrid that spits copious venom at our hyperconnected modern existence, hustle culture, and the gig economy while also functioning as a kaleidoscopic reflection on Fincher's entire career and ethos as a filmmaker.

Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish 

No Denzel isn’t Malcolm X or a dirty cop or a Civil War soldier in The Equalizer 3. He again plays Robert McCall, a ex-government contracted killer who just wants to help even the score, or equalize, against bad people in the name of good people. In this finale in the Equalizer trilogy, McCall is in Sicily trying to equalize a situation and it gets bloody. Afterwards, he ends up in a small Sicilian town where he learns to care about the people and finds a home. However, some evil Italian mobsters terrorize the town and they’re interrupting McCall’s peace and tranquility. That’s the last mistake they’ll ever make. Is this movie worth the drive to the theater? Check out this spoiler-free review to find out. The Equalizer 3 also stars Dakota Fanning, Eugenio Mastrandrea, David Denman, Gaia Scodellaro, Remo Girone, Andrea Scarduzio, Andrea Dodero, Daniel Perrone, Sonia Ben Ammar and Zakaria Hamza.

Denzel is back as Robert McCall, once again helping those with the odds against them. This time, he's in Italy, attempting to assist a village that is under the thumb of a crime family. Ashley, Matt and Aaron review The Equalizer 3 in this week's episode!

Welcome to Season 3 of Snubs & Dubs! This season we are covering the 74th Academy Awards, featuring the films of 2001.

For Episode 14, we are talking about Antoine Fuqua's Training Day. Training Day is a police drama about a veteran officer (Denzel Washington) who escorts a rookie (Ethan Hawke) on his first day with the LAPD's tough inner-city narcotics unit. "Training Day" is a blistering action drama that asks the audience to decide what is necessary, what is heroic and what crosses the line in the harrowing gray zone of fighting urban crime. Does law-abiding law enforcement come at the expense of justice and public safety? If so, do we demand safe streets at any cost?

Happy 20th Anniversary to the seminal crime drama which finally won Denzel Washington the Oscar for Best Actor!

It all takes place during one day as alluded to in the title as veteran LA detective Alonzo Harris (Washington) takes relative newbie Jake (Hawke) on his first ride-along throughout the city to teach him about the narcotics trade along with a LOT of stuff he wasn’t expecting. 

This movie has pretty much become this generation’s Scarface…but is that a good thing?   

It was directed by Antoine Fuqua and co-stars Scott Glenn, Cliff Curtis, Eva Mendes, and Ethan Hawke who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor that same year.

Finally, FINALLY: it's Denzel time. Denzel Washington, your parents' favorite actor and one of the top 3 superstars pumping out hit after hit still to this day, wins his lone Best Actor Oscar in the grimy, insane, GTA-inspiring TRAINING DAY, a dour portrait of a Los Angeles of Christmas Past when Sweetgreens didn't pollute every borough, Pacific Dining Co. was still alive and primarily funded by crooked ass cops ordering well-done steaks, and Echo Park before the transplants  gentrified it so hard that they could eat $23 take-out where bodies were once buried. 

Are you a wolf? OR ARE YOU A SHEEP??

The duo discusses post-9/11 flops, Denzel Washington's disappointing track record, David Ayer's insane life story, the Church of Scientology, and being afraid of Mexicans. Are you ready to make detective?? Strap in.

Film Producer and Director, Antoine Fuqua and Nicole Murphy were seen kissing on a photograph in Italy. Antoine is married, but some folks are blaming his wife Lela Rachon's weight gain for him being attracted to another woman. I don't think it's cool that we are blaming Lela for her husband cheating. 

Is it wrong for a woman to decline a man's public wedding proposal? I have mixed feelings about that. 

After watching last night's episode of Queen Sugar, I think "Black Does Crack", but it's good to see Cree Summer again.

It’s throwback time on The Film Board as we take on Denzel Washington’s latest, The Equalizer. We discuss all the various social constructs Denzel and director Antoine Fuqua look to equalize, from guns and home improvement to racism and gender inequality. Plus, the film is punctuated with violence and not a little allegory. So join us — Andy Nelson, Steve Sarmento, Pete Wright, and the disembodied voice of Chadd Stoops — as we review this homage to Edward Woodward and ‘80s pop culture greatness.
