What 2 Guys 5 Movies is All About
Hi, all! 2 Guys 5 Movies, a long-form film podcast, will be entering its third full year in 2022. The "primary" podcast features top five lists from various genres and subgenres. We have a wide range in our over 130 episodes. In 2020, we also added a weekly "supplemental" podcast, The Quick Cage, where co-host Frank Pellicone watched and reviewed every Nicolas Cage movie during an 23-month span. In 2022, a new supplemental podcast will begin weekly called The Spin Chagrin, where a ludicrous subgenre will be chosen randomly and Frank will have to watch and review the movie. This will be in addition to the main feed, where we will continue with extensive looks in top five lists.

The Spin Chagrin, a concept that finds Frank having to watch a movie he's never seen before based on the random spin of a wheel filled with off-the-wall genres, continues into its third year; the twist this year is that all the categories are quotables from Frank himself. In this episode, Frank's category was "Sometimes You Get the Map, Sometimes You Don't.” For this category, he watched and reviewed three different movies: the recent Amazon remake of Roadhouse, directed by Doug Liman and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Johnny Depp's last Pirates movie, and the live action Dora the Explorer movie.

The 2 Guys 5 Movies podcast continues their latest journey this year as they delve into the universe of Saw over the next few months. This episode focuses on a new chapter of the franchise, moving more away from Jigsaw and toward a new main character, Detective Mark Hoffman. These movies follow the formation of Hoffman as an antagonist being chased by a dogged FBI agent. Did the 2 Guys like these more than the previous installments?
