Hollie returns as my guest as we say goodbye to an old friend with a movie that he enjoyed, knew well, and was one of the bonds we shared. We talk about various aspects of the film including how fate plays a role in the main character's transition from assassin to...whatever he ends up doing.

2) Doomscrolling and peeking at the screen

3) I'm done, change the channel
