Episode #117: "The Girl on the Train," "The Birth of a Nation," "The Greasy Strangler," "Amanda Knox," and Robert Davi

Published: Oct. 7, 2016, 11 a.m.

In this very special episode, the guys welcome their first celebrity guest \u2013 actor Robert Davi! Mr. Davi miraculously heard last week\u2019s episode, so he is anxious to talk with them about his elevator encounter with Dave, as well as other things he has going on, like his new documentary DAVI\u2019S WAY. After chatting with Mr. Davi, the guys jump into this week\u2019s films. Evan leads off with AMANDA KNOX (at 12:22), at Netflix documentary that proves police investigatory techniques are flawed all over the world. Next Dave talks all about THE GREASY STRANGLER (at 20:34), one of the least pleasant experiences he has ever had watching a movie. Then Kris and Dave explore THE BIRTH OF A NATION (at 32:36), a loaded movie with a lot of issues worthy of discussion, including the director\u2019s past. Finally, Evan and Dave close with THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN (at 58:10), a mediocre thriller that\u2019s great for its central female characters and their performances, but disappointing for its narrow focus on baby-related-drama.
