Welcome to the 3rd movie in our 4-part Summer Blockbuster series. Dre & Goodman get into the 2013 almost-trainwreck-turned-huge-global-smash, World War Z, starring Brad Pitt, directed by Marc Forster and 'loosely' based on the book by Max Brooks.
But first we talk about what we watched this week: Rocketman, the Elton John biopic for Goodman (plus a few others that he didn't finish) and the Warren Beatty/Faye Dunaway 1967 classic Bonnie and Clyde and Netflix's The Highwaymen starring Kevin Costner & Woody Harrelson as the Texas Rangers chasing them down for Dre.
Then we get into World War Z, highlighting its at-times troubled production, break down the cast & crew, hit up a couple obscure quotes, then discuss why there doesn't appear to be a sequel on the horizon.
As always, we finish with a little something to cleanse the palette. In this week's BOOM! (Based On Other Movies), Dre bakes up some ooey-gooey brownies:
Last, join us for The Quote Parade, celebrating and identifying all the quotes we did on the episode.
Coming up next week: Jurassic Park...we spared no expense!
