Ep. 123 - Logan Lucky

Not all sports movies are made the same. For instance, Logan Lucky isn't one.   The car racing is at a minimum in Steven Soderbergh's well-reviewed, but under-seen heist comedy. On the very bright side though, there are plenty of stars and character actors who delighted us. The movie is snappy and funny in an Ocean's Eleven kind of way, which makes sense because Steven Soderbergh directed that series too.   Just like the robberies in the Oceans flicks, there are some holes in Channing Tatum's master plan. The movie's geography also defies logic. So we quibbled the way we always do about issues like that, but we also acknowledged that the best move while you're watching is to just go with it. That's not hard to do when you've got Daniel Craig, Adam Driver, Riley Keough and Jack Quaid doing the heavy lifting alongside Tatum.   So don't pre-judge a southern putz who just might be smarter than everybody else and certainly don't disrespect a slow-moving, one-handed veteran. Just devour our talk about Logan Lucky while you think about what you're going to do with all the money you'll get out of this job...eventually.   We would love to hear your thoughts about this or any other podcast we've posted.
