Ah, Mel Gibson is back again. This time... in actor form.

We perk things up a little bit this week with an action/adventure war caper starring Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra.

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk

For Screen and Country ·

2025/04/07

And now it's time for something completely similar, folks. AKA we did another Ang Lee movie that one time. Anyhoo, this week the fellers discuss Ang Lee's wartime satire (?) Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. Is this a case of a source material's tone being lost in the adaptation? Why is Steve Martin in this movie? How does Vin Diesel go up against expectations and give the best performance in this movie (not a knock, it's a good one)?! Filming at 120 frames per second - why? Did we need the romance
