And maybe get back the woman (Emily Blunt) whose heart he broke. Directed by David Leitch, it's a knowing comedy about action movies, and a character study of a man who likes to think he's invincible. And the movie has amazing stunts.

My favorite pop culture podcast

True Defective
You’re praise of TD S04 says everything I need to know about your taste in pop culture. If you’re looking for a dark mystery with great writing and female leads, watch Sharp Objects or Mare of East town instead. Goodbye, won’t miss your podcasts.
