In this episode, Stacey and JR dive headfirst into the chaotic, action-packed political comedy Heads of State, starring Idris Elba and John Cena. We break down the unlikely buddy duo dynamic, the over-the-top action sequences, and whether the comedy actually lands or just blows up like one of the film’s many explosions.
We debate:
• Is this movie an intentional parody of political thrillers or just an accidental mess?
• Who carried the film better — Elba’s deadpan charm or Cena’s chaotic energy?
• Can a movie this ridiculous actually have rewatch value?
• Bonus: Which real-life politicians we think would survive this plot (spoiler: not many).
Plus, Stacey reveals what snacks should be eaten during a movie this loud, and JR pitches a way better ending.
💥 Heads of State promised a wild ride — did it deliver or crash and burn? Tune in to find out.
