The Movie Breakdown Episode 86: Is it Time to Get Excited About Johnny Depp Again?

As Furious 7 continues to scorch at the box office, Scott and I thought it would be safer to stray away from the cinemas. Instead, we review Oliver Stone's 2012 Savages, because an allegory for big business practices told through a Mexican cartel kidnapping some benevolent drug dealer's shared girlfriend always feels relevant (plus star Blake Lively is also in this weekend's new release The Age of Adaline). Also just as the above title promises we talk Johnny Depp, and more specifically, his transformative role in the trailer for the upcoming Black Mass crime drama. It is another hour and half plus of in-depth movie talk and if you love the show then as always please spread the word.
