Longtime friend of the show Scott Nye (@railoftomorrow) joins us to pick apart Doug Liman's MR. & MRS. SMITH, a staggering mess of a movie seemingly designed to draft off of its main characters' couples' charisma, but in a bizarre reversal, they were both dating other people and only became a couple after this film, which also fueled a tabloid mania that pushed this empty, broken garbage fire of a film to the top 10 of the year.
We dive deep on this film's lame, pointlessly gendered conception of the murder business, how and why this film and Brad Pitt's public persona has been so uniquely poisoned in the wake of his abuse scandal, and well as Adam Brody being the only man in this film awarded for his status as a Choice Hottie.
