Pain & Gain (2013)

06/21/23 • 80 min

Will & Jared believe in fitness... well, not exactly. I mean they're podcast hosts after all. The duo team up to powerlift Michael Bay's Pain & Gain, a true crime caper set in Miami in the mid nineties. Is The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson surprisingly good in this film? Is Mark Wahlberg a psychopath? Are the writers of this flick known for writing other zany and offensive comedies? Answers await in this episode of Debaser!
