Ep1248: Mutiny and Tony (2026) - Live Movie Review
Why do June and July get all the fun movie mash-ups?
Nothing says "August" like a new Jason Staham movie and an early-Awards Season contender from A24. So, what do you get when you cross Mutiny with Tony? Mutony, of course!
This week, Ian and Jeff look at two very different films with identical goals: To be the best possible representation of their respective sub-genres! Mutiny is the definition of popcorn-shoveling fun; it's "Under Siege on a Die Hard". But unlike most knock-offs of those action classics, this one doesn't ask the audience to leave their brains at the box office (not too much, anyway).
Tony continues the "snapshot" biopic made popular by films like Springsteen: Delivery Me from Nowhere and A Complete Unknown. Dominic Sessa stars as a 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain, taking his first steps in what would become a legendary culinary career. Is there more to this pairing than a cute and convenient marriage of titles?
Join Ian and Jeff as they cook up some scintillating, skull-cracking commentary. They also take your questions and comments in the chat!
