Ep 154: Bullet Train (and The Gray Man)

The latest episode of The Movie Robcast takes a first class ticket into action and lunacy, as Robs Daniel & Wallis review Brad Pitt’s latest, Bullet Train. They find much to enjoy in David Leitch’s movie, the director behind John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2 and Hobbs & Shaw. You know the action is going to be good, but the Robs look into why Bullet Train stands head and shoulders above The Gray Man. The Robs begin talking about The Gray Man, the latest film from the Russo Brothers. They made Avengers: Endgame, so why does it fail? Listen in to find out. While discussing Bullet Train, Rob D also talks about the 1975 Japanese film Bullet Train, the movie whose basic premise inspired Speed. Rob D also mentions an interview he did with Kristy Matheson, the Creative Director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival about the Japanese director Tanaka Kinuyo.  You can find that interview here: https://www.electric-shadows.com/kinuyo-tanaka-director-kristy-matheson-interview/ If you like what you hear or have any feedback, why not rate and review us wherever you listen to your podcasts?
