Top Five Buddy Cop Movies
In this episode, Kris McPeak and Annie Pruitt discuss their favorite buddy cop movies.
 
They delve into the comedic and dramatic chemistry between pairs like Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy in 'The Heat,' Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines in 'Running Scared,' and Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in 'Bad Boys.' Are any of these your favorites, by chance?
 
The hosts provide insights into why certain movies made their lists and the dynamics that make these films memorable. With a mix of humor and nostalgia, Kris and Annie celebrate the buddy cop genre, eventually crowning the 'Lethal Weapon' series as the standout - well, they are sisters after all.
 
They also add an interesting twist by including movies where the 'buddy' isn't a typical cop, such as 'Turner & Hooch' and 'K9.'
 
Enjoy!
