The Contrarians

Anyone who’s been paying attention for a while knows how Alex really feels about RIDERS OF JUSTICE. Julio’s thoughts about the movie might be a little more obscure - especially after a rewatch. But quality aside, the real question is: is this a Christmas movie? Plus, what is it saying about conflict resolution? It’s a merry Real Talk segment as we come up with answers!

Up next, we take care of another loose end, as author Dale Bridges joins us for a long-promised guest-spot and we tackle the Elliott Gould noir THE LONG GOODBYE! Until then, let us know what you thought of Riders of Justice: Does Mads Mikkelsen have the best beard in the biz? What are your thoughts on the cast of the inevitable American remake? Do you agree with the Big Bang Theory comparisons? E-mail us at [email protected] or tweet at us or facebook us and share your thoughts!

This is the world now: we praise a movie that teaches intellectuals the way to effectively solve conflict is with violence. Who cares about morals when we get to see Mads Mikkelsen mow down bad guys with the help of the Danish Big Bang Theory cast? Listen to Alex & Julio pick apart a Tomatometer favorite, as they tackle RIDERS OF JUSTICE!
