    Highest 2 Lowest and Nobody 2

    For these two episodes, Toy and I tried something different. I bought those mics that the influencers who do the on-street interviews use, and we recorded while driving home from the movies. During the first review, I had some movement in the mic, so I apologize for that. The second time, I held the mic, but when I moved my head, the mic didn't go with me. This is a work in progress, so please forgive me if the audio isn't as crisp as you're used to. Highest 2 Lowest Starring: Denzel Washington, Jeffrey Wright, A$AP Rocky, Aubrey Joseph Additional Cast: Ilfenesh Hadera, Elijah Wright, Rick Fox Directed by: Spike Lee Written by: Evan Hunter (novel King's Ransom as Ed McBain), Akira Kurosawa (based on the film high and low, written by), Alan Fox (screenplay by) Quick Synopsis: When a titan music mogul is targeted with a ransom plot, he is jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma. Nobody 2 Starring: Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, Greg Munroe, Paisley Cadorath Additional Cast: Christopher Lloyd, John Ortiz, RZA, Sharon Stone, Colin Hanks Directed by: Timo Tjahjanto Written by: Derek Kolstad (based on characters by / story by / screenplay by), Aaron Rabin (screenplay by) Quick Synopsis: Suburban dad Hutch Mansell, a former lethal assassin, is pulled back into his violent past after thwarting a home invasion, setting off a chain of events that unravels secrets about his wife Becca's past and his own.
