Admir and Chris celebrate their 30th week of podcast marriage by discussing a film that, unfortunately, could not live up to its potential. Although Chris left the theater much more satisfied than his tag partner, the boys were in agreement that the film suffered from missed opportunities and its bare-bones approach to exploring themes. Nonetheless, a great cast anchored by Matthew Mcconaughey, helps to save the feature.
