On this week’s episode I’m thrilled to be rejoined by Brandon Struessnig and Bilge Ebiri, who spearhead Vulture’s annual Stunt Awards. We talked about the year’s big winner, John Wick Chapter 4, how folks kind of have to decide for themselves how much CGI is too much CGI when determining what counts as practical and what counts as digital, and compiling the 100 most influential fight scenes of all time. Some important links for you:
John Wick 4 is up there with the very worst films I’ve ever seen. The entire film was full of some of the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen in an action film ; the nearly endless effort Wick had to maintain to make it up those stairs at the end was so ridiculous my girlfriend and I just wished he’d hurry up and die already. We bailed on the film altogether before he reached the top, assuming he made it.
Are you aware the last two Bulwark Goes to Hollywood have not been posted to Apple podcast?
