Crank
This week on The Last Row Podcast, Drew and Badway break down Jason Statham's high-octane 2006 action thriller, Crank. The guys discuss all-time name Chev Chelios' countless methods of keeping his adrenaline pumping to stay alive, from snorting bathroom floor coke to public love making and everything in between. Additionally, we learn that adrenaline = seeing yellow, why directing duos need to grow up and make their own movies, and you can't be mad at a hitman for killing, he's just doing his job. It's just business.

Spoiler Alert: attempting to possess a baby may not have helped his score...

Customer Reviews
Greatness achieved
I have long looked for inspiration, dignity, professionalism, honor, strength and wisdom in a movie review podcast…at last it is here, in the Last Row.
An Epic Podcast
Sad to see there’s only 5 stars to highlight. I agree with so many other reviews of this show, but I want mention a couple things I really appreciate this show for. First: The points brought up by Drew and Badway are their honest opinions. Even if they like a director or actor, it will not stop them from mentioning something comical that wasn’t meant to be. If Steven Seagal decides to take a “shortcut” during a car chase over the bumpiest possible road, you’ll hear about it. The second thing: Getting a fresh watch on all the movies they review (Even though they have seen them in the past) really allows a listener the chance to know how a movie has held up over time. You get to hear the thoughts of the hosts on a movie through the lens of youth and adulthood. That creates this dynamic in the show that makes me curious to hear everything they upload. It doesn’t even matter if I’ve seen the movie before or not. This podcast is a must-listen. What’s there to lose? Check it out!
Out here making movies I’ve never seen better
Look, to be completely honest I listen to this podcast even though haven’t seen like 90% of these movies, because growing up I never really had access to them, but I’m familiar with most of the plots because of word of mouth and the internet. Even still, Drew and Badway make these films even more funny, easy to follow, and their obvious friendship makes their ability to punch up all the major points and character arcs an enjoyable experience every episode. Cannot recommend it enough.
