The Breakdown of 'Cars 3', 'Rough Night', 'Oh, Hello on Broadway', 'Counterpunch' and Remembering John G. Avildsen

The Breakdown has four big movie reviews this week including the latest Pixar adventure, Cars 3 and the latest raunchy female-led comedy, Rough Night. We also pay tribute to the filmmaker who gave us Rocky and The Karate Kid, John G. Avildsen. As always if you love the show then please spread the word.

You can check out my written review of Rough Night here.
