Down To Watch

Sometimes, it's best to just do what you know best. In Bruce Lee's case that's fighting...to bad he tries his hand at writing, directing, and comedy in this movie. Listen as Dan can't let one of the greats get a free pass, Tak tries to stay neutral due to his love of fighting, and Michel gets taking back to his childhood. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message

Harry Hart: [Quoting Ernest Hemingway] "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." No Clarence again this episode but we do have returning guest Michael F. stopping by to give his thoughts. Michel has been waiting for this movie for months and it shows, while Dan seems to be tired. Either way you get some insight into our minds after watching this action-packed movie. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message

"I'm not gonna go and play God with you guys." - Adam Le Dan, Takeru, and Michel try to find the light at the end of the time jump. Sadly all they find is a movie that may have been better left in time. Oddly Dan has no research, Takeru does the intro for the first time, and Michel looks too deeply into the void. Luckily for you, as usual the guys we're Down to Watch so you didn't have to. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message

The last and final pick of our Holiday flicks comes from Michael, who picked this obscure Christmas family film called The Family Stone. We discuss the crazy affair of the "holiday family get-together" and how awkward and weird and strange they can be, and how the film works to get some of that just right. The film stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Craig T. Nelson, Claire Danes, Rachel McAdams, Luke Wilson, and Dermot Mulroney. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message
