In this special episode of the CRWN Cinema Podcast, the crew get together to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the show and watch one of Kade and Gray’s guilt pleasures, REIGN OF FIRE, starring Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey. As always their candid conversation starts moments after watching the film together for the most genuine reaction. Sit back and relax as you enjoy this episode of the CRWN Cinema Podcast! REIGN OF FIRE is about: In present-day London, 12-year-old Quinn watches as his mother wakes an enormous fire-breathing beast from its centuries-long slumber. Twenty years later, much of the world has been scarred by the beast and its offspring. As a fire chief, Quinn (Christian Bale) is responsible for warding off the beasts and keeping a community alive as they eke out a meager existence. Into their midst comes a hotshot American, Van Zan (Matthew McConaughey), who says he has a way to kill the beasts.
