Episode 17: Ambulance / Contemporary Action Cinema

The Brothers put on their kevlar vests and gas up the Humvee for a roundtable discussion of Michael Bay’s Ambulance, focusing on Bay’s formal style, the hyperactive storytelling, its performances and characters, and its place within Bay’s career. Then, the Brothers discuss the wider action genre and question whether there’s a place for pure action cinema in contemporary Hollywood.
