This week on the Everything Actioncast, shit gets real as Zach and Chris talk about the 2003 Michael Bay extravaganza Bad Boys II as the fourth movie in the franchise, Bad Boys: Ride or Die hits theaters.

Seven years after the first movie, Mike Lowery (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are a part of the Tactical Narcotics Team in Miami, trying to track down and stop the kingpin shipping in massive amounts of ecstasy into the city. Unknown initially to the Bad Boys, Marcus' sister Syd (Gabrielle Union) is working for the DEA undercover and getting close to Johnny Tapia (Jordi Molla), the Cuban druglord behind everything. Zach and Chris talk about how everything is ramped up to 11 in this sequel, the over-the-top action, Michael Bay's obsession with corpses, if you can drive up to Guantanamo Bay in a Hummer, the hit-or-miss comedic set pieces, and more.

You can stream Bad Boys II on Hulu, Pluto TV, and Starz.

Next week, we're diving into Chronicles of Riddick to celebrate both Karl Urban's return as Billy Butcher in The Boys Season 4 and the movie's 20th anniversary.
