Suffering from severe tinnitus after a childhood accident, he uses music to drown out the ringing in his ears and drive like an absolute demon. Desperate to walk away from his life of crime after meeting a charming diner waitress named Debora (Lily James), Baby agrees to do one last job for crime boss Doc (Kevin Spacey). But when he's paired with a volatile crew of unhinged sociopaths—including Buddy (Jon Hamm), Darling (Eiza González), and the terrifyingly unpredictable Bats (Jamie Foxx)—the heist goes off the rails, forcing Baby to drive for his life and the person he loves.We break down the kinetic choreography and technical genius of the film: Edgar Wright’s insane directorial precision—matching every gun c**k, gear shift, and footstep directly to the rhythm of the soundtrack—the explosive physical performances, the incredible practical stunt driving, and how a $34 million original action flick became a global box-office smash.

    Episode 251 - Snake Eyes

    Oz and Curtis are putting on the flashiest snakeskin jackets, heading to Atlantic City Fight Night, and trying to keep our eyes on the ring while a hurricane brews outside to break down Brian De Palma’s conspiracy thriller: Snake Eyes!Rick Santoro (Nicolas Cage) is a loud-mouthed, crooked Atlantic City police detective who loves money, influence, and the spotlight. When he scores ringside seats to a heavyweight title fight alongside his childhood best friend, Navy Commander Kevin Dunne (Gary Sinise), he thinks he’s in for the ultimate night out. But when the U.S. Secretary of Defense is assassinated in front of 14,000 screaming fans mid-bout, Santoro locks down the casino arena to find the shooter. As he unravels differing eyewitness accounts and follows a mysterious woman in a wig (Carla Gugino), Santoro uncovers a sinister military conspiracy that forces him to choose between his corrupt lifestyle and doing the right thing.We break down everything that makes this late-90s thriller explode off the screen: Brian De Palma’s virtuosic direction—including that legendary, seemingly continuous opening tracking shot and signature split-screen work—Nicolas Cage turning his frantic energy up to 11, Gary Sinise’s stoic counterweight performance, and the sheer neon-soaked casino spectacle. Is Snake Eyes an underappreciated gem of De Palma’s visual filmography and a trashy-fun 90s Noir staple, or just a movie that proves you should never place all your bets on a rigged game?

After high-fashion model Ingrid Knudsen (Brigitte Nielsen) witnesses a brutal murder, Cobra and his partner Gonzales (Reni Santoni) are assigned to protect her from an endless wave of motorcycle-riding zealots.
