This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel is going back into action with Lethal Weapon 4, the fourth and final installment of the original Lethal Weapon series.
With Riggs and Murtaugh getting older, babies on the way, Leo Getz back in the mix, and a new villain who can actually go toe-to-toe with Riggs and Murtaugh, there's A LOT happening in this one.
We dig into everything, including:
💥 Riggs and Murtaugh's "last ride" and whether Lethal Weapon 4 feels like a proper ending to their story
😂 Joe Pesci returning as Leo Getz and bringing even more chaos to the team
🎤 Chris Rock joining the franchise as Detective Lee Butters—and whether he fits into the Lethal Weapon family
🥋 Jet Li's Hollywood debut as the absolutely terrifying Wah Sing Ku and why his martial arts skills completely change the action
👶 Riggs becoming a father and Murtaugh becoming a grandfather
❤️ Riggs and Lorna's relationship finally reaching a major turning point
🏠 The Murtaugh family getting pulled directly into the danger
🔥 The massive action sequences, explosions, shootouts, and increasingly ridiculous stunts
🥊 The legendary Riggs vs. Wah Sing Ku showdown
😂 The comedy, one-liners, and moments where the movie knows exactly how ridiculous it is
🎬 Whether this really works as the end of the original Lethal Weapon saga
Lethal Weapon 4 may not have the same gritty feel as the original, but it's an incredibly entertaining combination of action, comedy, family drama, and franchise nostalgia.

Doug is taking a little break this week after getting sick on vacation, but we couldn't leave you hanging! So we're re-releasing one of our favorite aquatic disasters—and with summer winding down, consider this your official warning:
WATCH OUT FOR FLYING PIRANHAS! 🐟✈️
This week, we're revisiting Piranha 2: The Spawning, the gloriously ridiculous sequel that also happens to be the second James Cameron-directed movie we've covered on the podcast. Yep… James Cameron directed Piranha 2! Well, roughly 75% of it, anyway, before reportedly being fired after clashing with the production.
We brought back our buddy Nick, who has helped us make sense of Munchie, Ghoulies, and plenty of other cinematic madness, and he came loaded with behind-the-scenes stories and some fascinating connections to Cameron's later work.
We dig into everything, including:
🐟 FLYING PIRANHAS! Because apparently regular piranhas weren't terrifying enough
🎬 James Cameron's early directing gig and the chaotic circumstances surrounding his departure from the movie
🔍 Nick's behind-the-scenes knowledge and the Cameron touches he spotted throughout the film
🚤 The infamous concept of "boating a boat" and other moments that make absolutely no sense
💣 Dynamite fishing, exploding fish, and some truly creative ways to get eaten
❤️ The bizarre relationship between Anne and her son and the questionable decisions surrounding it
🌴 The tropical setting, questionable science, and everything else that makes this sequel such a wonderfully weird experience
🎥 Spotting ideas, techniques, and visual touches that would eventually appear in Cameron's much bigger movies
😂 Why Piranha 2 is one of those movies that's almost impossible not to have fun with
It's ridiculous, it's entertaining, and it's a fascinating early chapter in the career of one of Hollywood's biggest filmmakers.

Next week, we're heading back into the world of Lethal Weapon 4 — but this week, we're joined by one of Hollywood's most accomplished stuntwomen and stunt doubles, Lisa Hoyle!
Lisa has spent more than 35 years performing the dangerous, demanding, and often completely invisible work that makes movie magic possible. From circus performer to professional stuntwoman, Lisa's career includes doubling some of Hollywood's biggest stars and performing some truly insane high-risk stunts.
We get into everything, including:

😱 Performing an incredible 93-foot high fall for Charlie's Angels, including the preparation, safety meetings, trajectory testing, and the unforgettable moment a medic asked for her blood type in the elevator
🚗 The dangers and creativity behind stair falls, wire work, fire stunts, car hits, and other high-risk sequences
🎨 The hours of makeup, prosthetics, costumes, and preparation that can go into a stunt that might only appear on screen for a few seconds
🏴‍☠️ Favorite projects including Pirates of the Caribbean, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Planet of the Apes, The Grinch, and more
🏆 Why stunt performers deserve greater recognition in Hollywood—and the push for an Academy Award category for stunt work
