Who Aims? The Player or the Slayer?

A box-office BOMB, confusion between Kevin James and Kevin Smith, and Gerard Butler does what he does best. Join us for a conversation about Gamer (2009), a movie that gets almost everything wrong.

In this episode, we share our thoughts about Gamer, a science fiction action movie from 2009 starring Gerard Butler and Michael C. Hall, and includes a mean-ass-looking Terry Crews. This movie is hard to defend, so we spend most of our time bashing it instead. We chat about the cinematography and actor performances and pay our respects to Ludacris. "I do feel you, my giant brother." Willie breaks down the movie's plot and references a 10,000-word blog post from a guy who thinks Gamer is "as radical as reality itself." Taylor struggles with a character named Gorge and how this movie portrays gamers, and Joseph thought John Leguizamo's performance was one of the highlights. Overall, this movie does a great job of NOT delivering anything beyond surface-level action scenes, but it does have an ethanol-powered vehicle in it—so there's that science, lol. "Let's Boogie Woogie Rock & Roll!"
