On this episode of Kickin' & streamin' Podcast, Graham and Jocelyn are joined by Jorge de Moya of Couch Dads Podcast to review Netflix original movie Extraction, starring Chris Hemsworth along with a magnificent cast of Bollywood stars. Graham started by admitting his low expectations of the movie prior to watching and how he ended up being pleasantly surprised with the technical achievements of the movie. Jorge dived into the technical aspects of the making of the movie; which involved the "one shot" technique, and how it has become prevalent in the making of action movies. Graham, Jocelyn and Jorge talked about this movie being directed by Sam Hargrave, a stunt director famous for coordinating stunts for the Avengers movies. Jocelyn and Graham pondered why it wasn't more frequent to see stunt coordinators take the leap into directing movies given the fact they're the ones responsible to deliver the actions we attribute to the actors who most of the time don't participate in the stunt performance at all. Graham, Jocelyn, and Jorge touched on some of the negative criticism the movie has received accusing it of being just another "white savior" flick. Jorge and Jocelyn agree the film's plot is a lot more complex to be categorized as a "white savior" film, and to do so was flat out absence of nuance on the part of the critics in question. Jorge & Jocelyn don't expect a lot of Hollywood accolade for the technical achievements in this film, mainly because it was made for a streaming service provider and not for theatrical release.
