Episode 48. The Taylor Sheridan Experience: Without Remorse

Tom Clancy's novel, Without Remorse has been waiting for the
Hollywood treatment for years—even Keanu Reeves was attached back
in the day—so who knew it would end up in the lap of screenwriter
Taylor Sheridan and director Stefano Sollima of Sicario: Day of
the Soldado fame? Probably no one.

But before we get into all the Michael B. Jordan action-thriller
tête-à-tête, we have to talk about what we watched this
week.

Dre saw three movies this week, including The Firm (not the Tom
Cruise/John Grisham one, the one from 1988 with Gary Oldman &
Lesley Manville about soccer hooligans); the throwback legal
thriller The Lincoln Lawyer, featuring Matthew McConaughey, based
on the book by Michael Connelly; and Wild Mountain Thyme, the
John Patrick Shanley film based on his play, starring Emily
Blunt, Jamie Dornan. Jon Hamm and Christopher Walken.

Goodman beat Dre by watching four movies (!!!!), including the
new Netflix sci-fi film, Stowaway, about a space mission to Mars
where things get disrupted by a stowaway; Dark Waters, the latest
'Civil Action'-style legal drama about how corporations are the
worst things ever; The Silencing, starring Game of Thrones'
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Annabelle Wallis, about a hunter and a
sheriff seeking a serial killer, which feels like it owes a bit
of a debt to Taylor Sheridan's Wind River; and Spike Lee's heist
film, Inside Man, starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie
Foster and Christopher Plummer (RIP) and still holds up.

Then we go all zero dark thirty with a bunch of Navy Seals to
discuss Tom Clancy's Without Remorse. We talk Taylor and Stefano
Sollima, the cast, including Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, Jodie
Turner-Smith and Guy Pearce (and Colman Domingo—blink and you
miss him!), quotes, trivia and more!

Next week we head to Texas for some good old-fashioned
Comanche references with Hell or High Water.
